Good balance nice pine finish for a west coast IPA.

From the 12oz can - nonic pint glass

Better than average/expectations. Very nice balance to this overall, an easy drinking no frills IPA.
Has a caramel amber body with nice clarity to it. I get a good finger width of off white froth and some light splashy cling from the lacing. Pine and citrus with a light caramel malt backdrop in the aromatics. Sappy pines, tangerine-orange, atouch of floral honey and some grapefruit in the flavor. Solid resinous linger to it with an upper moderate bitterness. Drying in the finish.
Not my fav ipa but solid all around, would grab this one again!

Poured from a can into a shaker pint glass. Pours a light to medium golden amber with a big two finger white head that dissipates to a thick cap, leaving heavy lacing. Aroma of light caramel and bready malt, citrus hops, light tropical fruit and orange citrus, mild toffee. Flavor is a non-intrusive malt with light caramel notes, good citrus and piney hops, light stone and tropical fruit, with pleasant resinous piney hops developing into a lingering resinous citrus and pine finish. Medium bodied with some light creaminess. A nicely made, classic West Coast style IPA with a well selected hop bill and great hop flavors. The malt is substantial and supports the strong hopping well, but has very light caramel flavor, letting the hops shine. A pleasant surprise from a brewery that was completely new to me. Well done.

 

 

Tangy and fruity. Sharp and moderately bitter. Piney and resiny hops. Light body.

A great quaff with just enough bitter bite. Loads of mango and citrus aromatics. One of my favorite IPAs lately. On tap at 57 Degrees in San Diego.
