Fucking Send It! Playing on the iconic West Coast IPA style to create a beer that'll make you feel like your back in the 90s listening to Sublime in a Cali suburb. This 6.7% IPA is crisp & clean with a pineapple center to start, but then a spicy resinous bitter bite and a hint of malt finishes out the back of the beer.
Once you take a sip you'll know why our Hop Monster is freaking out after having just a taste.

From the pint can, it pours a clear golden color with a large, thick, off-white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets alot of citrus, followed by a nice bitterness in the mouth, not harsh, but there and it leaves a bit of bitterness as an aftertaste.

Pours clear gold, big white head, excellent retention, rings of lace
Big aroma of mango, grapefruit, floral and a hint of pine and dank
Tastes like it smells over a bed of slightly sweet and caramel, toasted malt, definitely bitter, but not bracing
Medium bodied and appropriately carbonated, clean feel
Really dig this
