A: Pours a crystal clear pale to medium yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + pale honey colored highlights The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of medium thick film with a medium sized patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of tropical/papaya, earthy, herbal, citrus/grapefruit pith, and pine resin hops over the top of moderate aromas of toasted + biscuit + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of toasted + biscuit + caramel malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of tropical/papaya, earthy, herbal, citrus/grapefruit pith, and pine resin hops which impart a light to moderate amount of lingering aggressive bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a crisp refreshing mouthfeel. Enjoyable with a classic West Coast IPA aroma, flavor, and hop profile. Definitely a throwback but a pleasant change of pace in a market overcrowded with only NEIPAs.
