Poured from 16oz can into my Central Coast Brewers Guild glass. Canned 10/15/20; this is listed as a "Cryo Double IPA".

Appearance: rich golden hue with a touch of haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam. Looks great to me.

Smell: earthy, citrusy hops atop a sweet malt base. Decent, if not earth-shattering.

Taste: a light component of earthy, dank hops atop a rather caramelly sweet malt backdrop; bitterness is a little high for the overall balance.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: this beer may be made well to its recipe, but it's simply not to my taste. The bitterness is unbalanced, and the hop profile is ... not my favorite.
