A very solid DIPA from New Image, playing on their "East Coast transplant" with a tribute to the clear West Coast style
L - crystalline gold, see through, decent head, and lacing retained. Bubbles or minutes on end. No complaints
S - The aromas are those of muted melons, grass, some dankness (thank you Simcoe) that has shades of Pliny to it, and some piney floor berries.
T - This is a smooth operator, that showcases the hops well, but not superbly. I don't get much complexity or depth on the palate from it, but this is my first can of it (10.30.24 canning date). It's fresh as I taste this on 11.11.24 but will be curious how it evolves.
F - Great mouthfeel, great balance (incredibly smooth) with no alcohol, booze-burn, or hop burn presence. Just well made. Love the feel of the low impact carbonation here, but it's not flat.
O - Another really well made beer from the good folks in Arvada, Denver, CO. This is a well made DIPA that honors the west even as it uses Michigan (?!) Chinook hops.
