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.

16oz can - Happy New Years

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
