Cali Event

On draught at the brewery. It's a golden-straw color and hazier than a typical WCIPA. For a draught pour it has a large, fluffy, bright white cap and significant soapy lacing. The smell is aromatic with grapefruit, lemon, peach, melon, onion, and floral hops. The flavor is big and pops with tart grapefruit and lemon and sweeter notes of melon and peach. The Citra hops shine. There are additional hints of berry and earthy cracker malt from the Simcoe. The Simcoe provides a clean, balanced bitterness throughout. The flavors work very well. For 7.5% ABV the mouth feel is very lite and crisp with a pleasant level of carbonation; it's very drinkable. Overall, I really enjoyed this variant of Maine Event and will definitely drink it again.

This was a nice way to take the hops from Maine Event and turn it into a West Coast IPA variant. Appearance is too cloudy for a west coast ipa. Not a lot of aroma but the taste is nice! Citrus with a little bitterness. Wish it had more. Nice mouthfeel. Overall worth drinking and should be kept in rotation.
