This bright IPA has a sturdy backbone to hold up to mounds of Centennial, Columbus and Citra.

Can from the source.
A light amber with a dense, off-white head that falls off rapidly leaving little lacing, this looks good. The nose is a really good old school WCIPA, with candied orange, marmalade, pine, some grapefruit and a touch of caramel malt. The palate opens clean and bitter, bright and pungent with marmalade, candied orange peel, a mild pine bitterness, quenching and clean. Drying, bitter, clean, with a touch of chalk. Good stuff.

Hazy lighter golden body. Bright leafy citrus, pine, grapefruit and herbal notes. Classic west coast hop profile but with a east coast backbone and yeast ester flavor. Medium bodied, good carbonation, softer, mild herbal bitterness. Interesting take.

Thanks to John_M for this one. 16oz can (dated 8/14/20) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear orange-amber color with 3/4 inch of white head that had good retention and light lacing.
Lots of bright citrus hops at the front of the nose, some malt foundation, and a hint of pine were backing things up.
Very similar on the tongue, with a nice level of bitterness on the tongue.
The body was typical for the style, medium, crisp, and with a semi-dry finish.
Drinkability was very nice, I could see draining more of these.
Overall, a nicely solid example of the style, worth trying if you see it.
