Lightly foggy yellow-gold, even with very faint threads of neon green, under a thin, off-white, yellow-ish blanket...? This strange sight already has me curious if anything was added here.

And in execution, on the palate, the questions continue. It's kind of crazy how stonefruity this is, so, at least there they nailed the name. That said, it's kind of like an apricot liqueur over Spree, all with a lighter feel, though the carbonation does softly expand. There's a touch of toasty cracker, and a little evergreen, but I definitely wouldn't identify this as a West Coast if being tested blind.

It seems a little odd, and perhaps a little impressive if all these characteristics were derived from hops, but, they just don't meld well for me.
