July 15 2022. Clear deep amber white heat recedes quickly and leaves some lacing; taste is not bad but no remarkable. Mouthfeel is sharp and tingly.

When in florida, or for that matter any new place, always searching out a new beer.... This Florida IPA is solid.... I would not, as David Letterman used to say "phone the neighbors and wake the kids" .... But pretty good

Poured from a 12 oz can.
L - Dark golden color and some haze. Head is fluffy and off-white and persists as a thick sheet and strong lacing made up of thousands of minuscule bubbles.
S - Strong hops aroma is a blend of pine and citrus; maybe just a bit of pineapple. There is bready malt with some caramel at a lower level, but also a slight vegetal and cardboard aroma that seems to indicate oxidation, although the can was fresh.
T - Strong citrus hops flavor, along with bread at a much lower level from the malt. The finish is dry and hoppy, but there is a slight green bell pepper note that's a bit out of place.
F - Medium body has a strong mouth-coating quality, almost oily. High hops bitterness. Moderate carbonation. Some alcohol warmth. All pretty good for an American IPA, except the mouthfeel is a bit cloying, rather than crisp.
O - This is an OK West Coast IPA, but not a great one. The sample I had displayed a few flaws in the aroma and flavors.

Copper colored colored and not easily penetrated by light. There's a half inch of creamy beige on top. Light lacing. The aroma is of very forward citrus and light malt. I'm tasting plenty of bitter citrus and some light malt. The bitterness lingers a bit after the finish. The mouth is lightly sticky and resinous.

Almost 7 months old and still very tasty. Nothing off about it. Will look for a fresh can in the future to compare.
