Thanks again to Drew. Cool name, scary label, no can date

Pours a large frothy creamy 1 finger head that fades semi slowly, nice soapy lacing, very hazy honey blond color

Nose some hops, plenty of fruit, citrus, orange cream, tangerine, some tropical pineapple, papaya, maybe passion fruit, a bit of dank tropical and faint pine dankness, mango notes, seems faded so maybe a bit old but can't tell because no canning date.

Taste brings some sweet creamy wheat oat mash, a little toasted cereal grain, big hops, citrus all over, orange juice, tangerine, lots of pith and pulp, little rind, tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, maybe papaya, a bit of dankness and pine in the background, spicy and almost chewy like spicy hops late, a little drier finish, fair bitterness lingering as well.

Mouth is med bod, creamy malt, fluffy carb

Overall not bad, decent hop character with nice mash, seems underwhelming a bit though despite all the good characters, I feel like they were a lot more dominant at one point. Seriously guys you need to date these!

 

 

Can from 12/21/17. Poured into Aslin anniversary glass.

L: 2F frothy head with lots of lacing and a cap and ring. Beer is semi-hazy and bronze.

S: Mostly orange and grapefruit, lemon and lime. Very hop forward.

T: Nice orange and grapefruit flavor with a slightly bitter finish, so yes, definitely a look back half a decade on the West Coast.

F: Light to medium bodied, moderate carbonation, very drinkable and nice drying on palate. Reminiscent of Green Flash West Coast IPA and that always was one of my favorites back in the day.

O: Nicely done. This is an IPA you can drink all the time and be happy.
