A bounty of American hops deliver the signature clean and crisp finish of a perfectly balanced West Coast style IPA.

12 oz can mfgr 7/31/24 into a Becker.
L: SRM 4.5 pours a gently yeasted lightly glowing light orange color with a cookie-like domed soft white head, steady medium-light carbonation, good head retention, medium-heavy lacing and light sheeting with holes.
S: A hint of fruits and berries, light pear, light citrus.
T: Soft citrus, pear, kiwi, a hint of grapefruit zest mixed with resin which lingers quite long and is in command of the finish, a touch of lemon, bitterness stays centralized and doesn't spread.
F: Soft & smooth with a light fizz tap at the beginning. It is medium-bodied with a long fairly dry and gently crisp finish.
O: Impressive taste and feel. Slightly more refined and fruity than many in the style IMO. Splendid balance and blend. Easy to drink with no ABV taste. It is excellent in its style.

I tried a can of this beer at Roscoe's Coffee Bar & Tap Room in Richmond, Indiana whilst witnessing a massive industrial fire on their patio. It poured a clear golden with white head that left some lace. The scent had dank citrus and pine notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with sweet malt base with pine and citrus fruit presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

On tap. White head with lace. Clear golden color.
This has hints of pte which I find surprising. Very west coast forward but not at that level. Pine and floral hops. A bit of resin, light dankness. Grapefruit citrus. Very enjoyable ipa. Big fan.

Nice, aggressive IPA with ABV to boot. Not as floral as others in the space, but supremely drinkable. Has a good bite to the carbonation. Finish lingers, but remains clear.

On tap at the Indianapolis airport:
Pours a hazy dark orange color. Thin head, some lacing.
Smell: hoppy with some fruit, pine, and floral notes.
Taste: I would describe the taste the same way as the smell. Hoppy, citrusy, piney, and floral. Bitterness is on the low side. Not super complex, but very balanced.
Feel: medium body and high carbonation. Mouthfeel is a tad on the creamy/malty side, but the malt bite is there.
Overall, enjoyable. Made waiting for my plane to start boarding much more enjoyable.
