This magical marriage of complexity and crushability is a West Coast bouquet of bright, tropical fruit and berry flavors, accentuated by lovely aromas of pineapple, pear, watermelon, and stone fruit.

This is a WC IPA for people who like hazy IPA. Mine was canned on 12/1/2021 and consumed 1/6/2022 using a tall tulip glass. A finger of head, not very dense or creamy, degrading to a thin film over the course of a few minutes. There was some chill haze and the color was sort of an uninspired, dull copperish/amber/gold. Left some lacing but nothing notable. Almost no smell that I could detect, although the very full glass left no vapor space to concentrate aroma, but even half way through the glass I got very little smell off of it. Taste was not what I expected from a WC IPA, or from their "fruity" description. Not very bitter at all. Having a hard time identifying the flavor, not very fruity, maybe a hint of pine and the most subtle of watermelon. Mouthfeel was on the thin side of medium with a somewhat sudsy sensation. Would I drink it again, if offered? yes. Would I buy it again? Probably not in view of the many better offerings available, including from Modern Times.. Overall tasty but IMO, not a classic WC IPA.

Well this one is decent.
Looks great. Straw to gold in hue. Fluffy white head rises high, slowly settles to a light film. Scattered lacing, decent retention. Nose is citrus, mild onion, herbal. Flavor is basically the same with a mildly peppery note. Mouthfeel is light to medium, good carbonation, mildly dry in the finish.

Looks great, hazy and chunked up, lots of suspended sediment. Smells kinda light and drinks kinda light, but still a hazy IPA through and through... danks, floral, citrus, all represented along with a dash of garlic and onions, just feels and tastes kinda budget if you nam'sayin'
I like this stuff and I especially like the price
