This double hazy IPA is brewed with copious amounts of oats to provide a fluffy and smooth mouthfeel while accentuating the hop flavors of berry, melon and tangerine with a subtle minty finish.

16 fl oz pull-tab can:
Body colour is an unappealing murky orange. Obviously unfiltered and quite turbid for it.
TASTE: Melon, grass, fruit, tangerine peel, papaya.
TEXTURE: More dry than one would hope for. Overcarbonated. Medium to full-bodied. Smooth.
High C+ / ABOVE AVERAGE

Thanks, Nick!
Got this from Nick on a recent trip to Colorado, even though we weren’t supposed to exchange beers. Had never heard of Westfax before, but Nick brought it so it must be good. Canned description read, “This double hazy IPA is brewed with copious amounts of oats to provide a fluffy and smooth mouthfeel while accentuating the hop flavors of berry, melon and tangerine with a subtle minty finish.” Hops mentioned were Sabro, Mosaic, Ekuanot & Enigma.
Poured a golden hazy color with four fingers of rocky white head. Some low-moving bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Excellent spotty lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled juicy peach, stone fruit, guava, passion fruit, tangerine, orange, hints of coconut, Sabro, Mosaic, floral, vanilla, berries and mango. (Smell - 4.25)
Tasted even better than the nose. Wow. Got juicy peach, stone fruit, guava, Sabro, Mosaic, passion fruit, tangerine, orange, coconut, floral, vanilla, berries, mango and hints of red grape. (Taste - 4.50)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, juicy finish. (Feel - 4.50)
Wow. Such a great beer. World-class. (Overall - 4.50)
