Crystal clear light yellow in color, with a small white head that dies down and leaves no lacing.
A very potent dank aroma; I immediately detect that distinctive nutty, grainy, peanut aroma that I know is malted oats. I don't know why I have an incredibly discerning nose for malted oats, but I can smell them immediately in literally any IPA that has them. I also smell a slight butteriness that I hope isn't diacetyl. I also smell cannabis, grapefruit, white grape, pine, lychee, and pear.
Immediately the palate smacks of pink grapefruit pith and white grape must; peanutty malt oats, pear/lychee, and resin. There's definitely a pungent dank-diesel-fusel thing going on that is a slight turnoff for me, but otherwise it tastes pretty good. Mild bitterness, slightly caramelized and biscuity malt, but no lingering sweetness. Not as bitter as I'd like a WCIPA, but otherwise tastes pretty solid. Definitely in the vein of TRVE's "no coast" IPA with the malted oats, minimal bitterness, and dry finish, though less cleanly executed than theirs. A solid IPA, something like a 7/10 or 89/100 range for me.
