Canned 4/25/19.
L: Clear for the most part with a slight unfiltered appearance. Less than a finger of head on the pour with decent amounts of lacing.
S: Lemon, malts, orange, black pepper and peach. Pine resin radiates off as well, letting me know this is a warm day companion.
T: Great. Up front citrus with bold malt baseline. Finish is hoppy with after tastes of pine, lemon and orange.
F: light in body and light to medium in weight. Moderate carbonation, no booze bite for 8.5 abv.
O: An enjoyable beer, and tasting might fine on this warm-ish day. I am grateful to have tried. Cheers!

Appearance - Pours clear and bright yellow with a white, half-finger width head. Fair retention before a thin, broken layer of suds and a fair ring around the edge of the glass. A few small spots make up the lacing.
Smell - Citrusy. Hint of dank. Light bready sweetness.
Taste - Follows the nose. Orange, lesser pineapple, light dank and a bit of bready malts beneath. Faint grapefruit and a touch of mango mid-taste. Finishes balanced with the aforementioned flavors.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Slick, smooth drinker with a crisp, clean finish.
Overall - Pretty classic West Coast DIPA. Crisp, clean and really drinkable.
