Prefatory note: There was already a beer with this name listed for Shady Oak, but there's almost no informaiton about it here and it clearly is not the Shady Oak beer currently called Imposter Syndrome. This beer is listed right now at Shady Oak as a "West Coast IPA" and it is listed at 7.5% abv (the other beer listed under this name is identified as a pale ale at 5.5%). Moreover, this beer clearly is an IPA in character, although it arguably tends more to an East Coast style.

Hazy orangish gold with a moderate white head steadily shrinking to a thin ring.
Aroma is passion fruit with hints of orange and yeasty bread dough. Taset very balanced bitterness and sweetness but both firmly present and it's not dry. Soft, faintly creamy mouthfeel. Taste passion fruit, bread dough, hints of lemon-orange. It's excellent.
