Sweet white wine grape, hint of spicy-dankness, and grapefruit citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with a grapefruit citrus and dank hoppy finish...the grapefruit citrus bitter bite lingers on the back of the throat for a while. This has really good depth and chewy mouthfeel to it. Really good!

Very tasty West Coast style IPA, my first from this highly-lauded brewery. 3/31/20 date printed on can. Pours a hazy lighter yellow color with some fluffy white head and a little spotty lingering lacing that slowly faded. Smells of fresh pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, orange and mango. Also some malt, creamy vanilla, bread and lighter floral and herbal hops. Taste follows the nose, great balance and depth, higher ABV was well hidden. Good crisp bitter hoppy bite at the end. Smooth sticky mouthfeel and really good carbonation - not very soft but big bursts of bubbles in the finish. Very interesting, will have to see if this is their style when I try their other beers.
