This IPA will smack you in the face with its dank aromas and flavors. Its super sticky hop character is supported by a subtle foundation of Northern American malts. Mosaic hops provide an array of citrus and tropical fruit aromas reminiscent of grapefruit, orange, melon, papaya, tangerine and passion fruit. An uncharacteristically smooth bitterness leaves this beer insanely drinkable and will keep you coming back for more. Packaged in its purest form, unfined and unfiltered.

12oz can. Served in a teku glass. Pours a clear golden-amber body, two finger white head, fair retention, bits of lacing. Smells of toffee, pineapple, light tapioca (more of a leafy type that I tend to get in Mosaic hops), resin, light grapefruit, caramel. Smells nice and balanced. Flavour brings out a bit more warmth, fair bit of resin, floral with mild grapefruit and pineapple. Not particularly complex but it's pretty well constructed. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly drying, good carbonation with a solid resinous bitterness on the backend. It won't knock your socks off but certainly would work as a good local IPA in most places.

One of my favorite current brews. Hoppy, sticky, fragrant - crack one of these in your backyard on a warm summer day and you're ballin'. I love seeing newbies take a hit of this, smack their lips a couple times and say "wow". Dank is right - a really flavorful hop bomb, but not at all excessive. Roll into your neighborhood poker night with a six-pack of these and you'll be the talk of the table.

19.2 oz can (“Ubah 4 prez, 08/25/23”) poured into a 14 oz Rastal Teku glass. Bright, pale and clear gold with a frothy cap of white foam and decent lace. Aromas of pine, grapefruit, and dank, ripe tropical fruit. Flavor follows with a crisp bitterness and rounded citrus and tropical fruit body. Medium body and carbonation. A nice West Coast IPA that strikes a balance between crisp and dank.

I think the sum is greater than the parts. Should rate in the 90s on this site. Excellent beer. Could use more mouthfeel start to finish. But the taste is excellent. Pine predominately. Good look. Haze is nice. No lacing per se but it’s a good beer with a lot of potential. On tap at yard house Sacramento.

Pours a nice golden color with a one finger foam head.
Piney smell. Taste is a mix of breadiness and malts, fades Into a hoppy finish.
Overall decent beer, would buy again.

19.2oz can, Duvel tulip, canned 6/16/22.
Liquid and crystal clear gold. The head is fueled by big crackling bubbles and is a clean, sticky white. It looks the part for a West Coast IPA.
The strength of the aroma is exciting and inviting. Mandarin, Meyer lemon zest, dank buds.
It’s tasty, with more yellow grapefruit and lemon zest citrus and a mellow bitterness, making it not classic, but part of the new wave of softer West Coast IPAs. There’s also a residual greenness, like fresh green bell pepper. The malt is in the background, though it’s not “ubah” dry.
Definitely a fuller body than the style calls for. Carbonation is active and the aftertaste Carrie’s some bitterness, but isn’t dry, grating, or scrubbing on the tongue.
Very nice IPA in a new sub-style.

16 oz can, canned 3/2/22. Pours hazy dark orange yellow with a big white meringue head that retains well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is subdued, sweet malt with fruity spicy hops.
The flavor is sweet creamy biscuit malt with some fruit and resiny piney hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, just OK.

Appearance: Pours a clear golden with a two finger head; strong retention leaving shards and spots
Smell: Dank and herbal with pine and hints of caramel, tropical fruit and onion
Taste: Hints of caramel malt strike the tip of the tongue before the dank, piney flavors emerge; touches of papaya and onion underneath, with a piney, herbal finish
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
Overall: The sweetness is unusual for a West Coast IPA but there is certainly some dankness to this one

It smells really herbal and a little sweet with malts.
It tastes herby and sweet. It's also extremely refreshing.
It's thin with a lot of carbonation. It has a dank and bitter finish that doesn't last for long.
Overall it's an extremely refreshing IPA. I give it a 4.9 out of 6.

This beer is decent. It's your standard modern WC IPA. They claim it's the dankest; LIES! It could be waaaay danker. Still good though.

19.2oz can served in a nonic imperial pint. Dated 2021-04-23. Gift from my brother.
Pours a slightly hazy, light yellow, with a big, persistent, rocky head and medium to high carbonation. Smell is herbal, almost minty, cut grass, lemons.
Taste is similar -- lemon, herbal, cut grass, maybe some hay and a bit of grain husk.
Mouthfeel is light, dry, slightly resinous. Overall, it's not bad.

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a big three finger white head with great retention and thick lacing. Aroma of lightly caramel malt, citrus and dank hops, orange, grapefruit, faint mixed tropical fruit and light green onion. Flavor is pale malt, citrus, piney and dank hops, grapefruit, lemon, pine and faint tropical fruit. Pine and citrus rind finish. Medium bodied with light creaminess. Hits the mark as advertised; a classic West Coast profile with extra dankness. Quite a bit of herbal character to aroma, but somewhat less in the flavor, which is mostly citrus and pine, especially the well bittered finish. Not Ubah dank, but a fine dank WC style IPA.
