Slightly hazy golden color with a a pearly white, foamy head, this beautiful WCIPA gurgles with dank tropical citrus aromas and another note that is somewhere between peaches and ripe berries. Man, am I intrigued.

There’s an astringency masquerading as bitterness on the taste that is a perfect accompaniment to the berry/peach sweetness and defines this excellent beer as a WCIPA. What a pleasure to drink this beer.

This is a beautiful looking beer. Clean deep yellow/light orange, a rocky, foamy head that has spotty lacing. Very nice.

I can't help but suggest this is chalked full of cryo hops. It has that freezer burn smell with intense, indistinguishable yet guaranteed tropical aromas.

Flavor bursts with funky fruits. Mango, guava, and kiwi come to mind.

Light, very dry, sweet at first but clearly leans to the bitter side. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Definitely West Coast, definitely new school, definitely delicious. Thanks again Derek!
