Pours a fairly clear ligh amber with thick, fluffy head.
Smell is 50/50 juicy and piney with notes of citrus and strawberry jam.
Taste is slightly sweet and a bit earthy. Notes of citrus, strawberries and a moderate bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
Overall, seems like a bit of a hybrid between NE an west coast, but comes out as neither. Too piney for one style, not clear and bitter enough for the other. Enjoyable, anyway.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden amber coloration with a large, fluffy head and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of biscuity, slightly caramelly malt and floral, soapy hops, with just a hint of citrus and pine. Taste follows the nose, with some biscuity, slightly caramelly malt upfront and some quite floral hops, with notes of grapefruit, tangerine and light herbal accents, as well as just a hint of pine. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some floral/herbal hops lingering in the aftertaste, with a bit more pine coming through as well. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
For something that explicitly styles itself as a West Coast IPA, this fails pretty hard, just being much too sweet and floral, almost perfumey, rather than piney and resinous, except for a little pine coming through in the aftertaste. While there is a decent bitterness to this, it also feels floral and soapy, rather than resinous. The aroma is particularly unpleasant, turning more floral and perfumey as this warms. It's becoming more and more apparent to me that while FrauGruber make fantastic NEIPAs, that's really the only style that they do very well.

De Labirratorium. En copa Teku. Viendo Vikingos 6x02. No me ha parecido west coast. Tiene un perfil de lupulo estilo australiano con algunas notas herbales muy rico. Refrescante y algo jabonosa en boca
