Picked up a 4 pack while visiting the brewpub today 4-27-19 for $15.00. There is no canning date but it was presumably brewed in April. Consumed 4-27-19.

Beer poured orange with a solid white head with the initial pour.

Nose is very nice, fresh citrus abounds.

Taste is grapefruit forward with some orange in the background. Pine is heavy in the finish, bitterness is 7/10.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied leaning towards heavy and leaning more towards being smooth instead of refreshing.

Overall a solid old school WCIPA!

Enjoyed at The Beer Research Institute in Mesa, AZ. POUR: On tap poured into a 16oz nonic pint. APPEARANCE: Golden amber in color. Mostly clear. No bubbles to speak of. Nice white head which is on the thin side. Lots of glass lacing present. Steady and consistent in regards to the lacing. AROMA: Pine and hoppy notes come through. Pretty subtle on the nose. Somewhat thin in regards to an IPA nose wise. TASTE: Some nice bitter hoppy notes. Very clean and dry mouthfeel.AFTERTASTE: Finishes clean with a fair amount of bitterness. Lots of piney and crisp hoppy notes throughout to the end. NOTES: Could have been more robust on the nose. Nice bitterness without being overwhelming or onion-like. RESULT/ RATING: Good / 2.96 out of 5.

Fantastic IPA. I wouldn't describe this as a west coast IPA. Nice malt backbone and not too dry. Smell is fantastic, must've dry hopped the crap out of it. Lot of simcoe and Amarillo. Piney, citrusy, grape fruit, delicious dankness.
