A: Poured from the can into a Palm tulip. Body is clear coppery-amber with a wisp of white head on top.

S: Faint smell of tropical fruits - ripe melon, papaya - and brown sugary malt.

T: Caramel malt foundation, then the hops - tropical and stone fruits (melon, ripe peaches) and a hint of lime. Touch of spice and esthery heat at the finish.

M: Light-to-medium in heft. Carbonation is faint.

O: Not bad. Nice to get back to an old-fashioned American IPA after drinking so many NE IPAs recently.

From a can dated today, 3/4/2019 , poured into a tulip.

Moderately hazy golden-amber, with 3 fingers of off-white head.

Smell is fresh pine, a hint of turpentine, mixed citrus, with grapefruit sporadically popping out, and a slight bready aroma and floral hops.

Taste is pine, grass, grapefruit, dried tangerine rind, dried onion, candied pineapple - without sweetness, bread crust, lime zest, frozen-then-thawed crabapple(concentrated tart apple, but not yet vinegary), and leather. Strong, yet rounded bitterness throughout. Occasionally a sharp stab of bitterness+spiciness pops up, briefly.

Feel is on the light side of medium, with some creaminess. Substantial, yet soft carbonation , that provides a good bit of tingle throughout,

Overall, well-balanced, and easy-drinking. I like it. I do wish the pine element was more prominent, and without the solvent(y) part. I expect that will fade , and this will likely be better in time. Warrants a revisit in 2-4 weeks. That said, I still recommend giving this a try if you like WCIPAs.

Edit 3/18/19 : I like it better at 2 weeks old. As I anticipated, the solvent/alcohol element has almost faded away, allowing more pine & citrus to show a bit more . Maybe a +.10 bump in the total ? (4.13)
