On-draught @ the brewery. $5 per 13 fl oz pour.
Melon, blueberry, stonefruit, guava...they call this a West Coast IPA, which isn't a descriptor/substyle designation I ever use - but amongst those that do, this would not be considered one. It's got more in common with the low bitterness tropically inclined IPAs of late than the classic C-hop led citrusy and piney ales that were coming out of San Diego in the 2006-2013 peak of IPA brewing.
Not that that's a bad thing... it's decently balanced and the lack of bitterness will appeal to those disinterested in more classic IPAs. But the hop profile just isn't great, and to stand out in the most popular style worldwide you've definitely got to bring more to the table.
Not a brew I'd buy again personally, but it's not a bad beer by any stretch - just doesn't top the Sculpin or Racer 5 I can easily bring home by the sixer for a lot less.
C+ / ABOVE AVERAGE
