Aroma is fruit/floral hops and a small hint of peanuts. The flavor is fruit, a hint of bubblegum, malts, slight sweetness in the middle and a nutty/spicy/bitter hop finish.

Translucent deep golden...perhaps burnt orange? Soapy white head. Good retention. Excellent lacing. Bubbles. Some specks of floaty sediment.

Ripe, sweet, overripe cantaloupe. Some caramel malt. Honeydew melon; a touch of papaya, earth, and bark.

Overripe, perhaps slightly rotted cantaloupe upfront. Subtle backbone of biscuit and brown sugary malt. Honeydew melon, candied orange, papaya, earth, and bark. No bitterness to speak of. Great fruity flavors; not a WCIPA, though.
After a moment, a touch of bitterness is there.

Smooth, good carbonation, slick, slight drying on the finish despite sweet taste.

Solid IPA. Starting to taste old, but tastes good. Fresher with the bitterness dialed up a tad, and this would be outstanding.

 

Deep amber in color. Nose is piney and dank. Taste was a bit if a disappointment, not a lot of the pine, hop flavors I had hoped, especially as it is a WC Style. Backend bitterness built, but only slightly. Nose had me full of hopes, but still a good IPA.
