The aroma is bursting with tangerine, supported by pine and sweet fruits. This follows through on tasting with that resinous and assertive bitterness you'd expect from a style like this, of course with the usual Whiplash touch. That bitterness just lingers on the end making rounding out this big beer.

CAN
Pale gold with ribbons of white; canned orange slices, wet latex paint, acetone + underripe avocado on the nose; honeycomb biscuit, tangerine, light pine; clean + thin.

All sorts of wrong.
For a start, smells like a bad brew: big whiffs of fusels and acetaldehyde both.
That could explain the absence of any of that juicy Cali citrus in even IPA doses, never mind at a DIPA ABV.
But it’s also too thin, pale, low bitterness, unsweet (no Crystal in the ingredients, tellingly) and toothless for anything called a West Coast.
I’d love to know what went off the rails, because this can’t be the beer they intended.
Not finishing this; I don’t need the headache in the morning.
My first Whiplash drainpour.
