The beer pours out a light hazy golden color, with 1 finger of off white head--------- the aromas are of dank weed, peach, pine, tropical fruit and some sweet malt-------- the flavors are of dank weed, pine, passion fruit, sweet malt and peaches, the beer has a medium to full sticky mouthfeel finishing with a moderate bitterness---------- overall this beer was delicious, it's a classic west coast double ipa with a big Carmel malt backbone and a shit ton of hops

Appearance - Pours mostly clear and golden in color with a white, half finger width head. Sub-par retention results in a mostly barren surface with a razor thin ring of suds around the edge of the glass. No lacing.

Smell - Aroma hits on sweet citrus and stonefruit upfront. Slight dank and spice. Bready undertone.

Taste - Follows the nose. Notes of candied orange and peach upfront. Faint dank and a hint of stonefruit pit nuttiness soon follow. Bready undertone and some fair caramel make up the malt body. Finish is more sweet than bitter, though there's a hint of citrus pith in there.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with moderate, tingly carbonation. Slick texture that turns a touch of dry and sticky in the finish.

Overall - A Classic West Coast DIPA, and a damn solid one at that. If I'm nitpicking, I'd say it lacks ideal bitterness. Outside that, it's a nice drinking brew.
