Back Back To Cali
LIC Beer Project

Pours a hazy deep gold with a fluffy white head; good cap retention; solid ring; medium lacing. Tangerine juice and lemon drops nose; onion and some skunky (Simcoe) earthiness as it warms. Semi sweet tangerine, lemon zest, a little orange peel bitterness; green melon, grapefruit and some pine on the backend. Medium body, smooth feel, moderate carbonation. Overall very drinkable; good balance between sweet and bitter; not too filling; however, pricey at $7/16 oz can at the bottle shoppe.

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy dark, pale yellow in color. It poured with a half finger high white head that left lots of streaks of bubbles clinging to the sides fo the glass and a large patch of bubbles on the surface.
S: Moderately strong flavors of gooseberries are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of gooseberries and lime and finishes with hints of pine in the finish. There is also a light amount of bitterness and this is mostly in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and both juicy and smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. There are some hints of crispness in the finish.
O: This beer beer seems like a hybrid between a New England IPA and a West Coast IPA. It starts off like an East Coast IPA with all of the juicy flavors of hops and leaves you with some pine and bitterness in the finish - or on your way back to Cali.

Serving type: can

A really tasty beer. The only detraction was the brownish orange murky color, which was a touch off-putting. But the smell was a nice mix of floral and fruity, and the taste was very nice. It was actually sweeter than I expected, since it was called a West Coast IPA. but I found it nicely balanced and drinkable.
