You find a clearing in the moonlit mountains and set up your rig. A felled log, a fire, and a forest are your forum. You plug into your trusty guitar, flip on your amp, stomp on your Walrus Audio Slötvå pedal, and strum your favorite campfire chord, letting it wash out into the infinite night sky. With the crackling fire as your rhythm section and the calls of nocturnal animals providing the melodies, you conjure another lush chord and offer it up to the ether. You can feel your electric guitar recalling its roots as a once-proud tree, calling out to its brethren with the voice of a magnetic choir: swelling up like a zephyr through the pines, soaring like a hawk against the clouds, slowly trailing off and fading out until it leaves no trace. As the magical reverb pedal carries your next chord for what feels like forever, you step on the sustain switch to let it linger, crack open a can of Ambient Vibes Hazy IPA, and soak in the vibes. What a dream.

Went to grab a 6-pack and a few cans at Windmill Farms and came home with 29 beers, spending way too much money. Topa Topa’s website description was “You find a clearing in the moonlit mountains and set up your rig. A felled log, a fire, and a forest are your forum.

Poured a medium yellow semi-hazy color with three fingers of frothy white head. Plenty of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. Perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)
Smelled green vegetable, floral, peach, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon and grass. Smelled a little better as it went down. (Smell - 3.50)
Tasted about as good as the nose. In order got floral, peach, nectarine, tangerine, orange blossom, pineapple, grapefruit rind, lemon, grass and green vegetable. (Taste - 3.75)
Light body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, smooth finish. (Feel - 4.00)
This was a very good hazy IPA. Glad I tried it. Got better each sip and may have slightly underrated it. (Overall - 3.75)
