A big citrus, grass, and caramel aroma with a huge caramel malt backbone accompanied by a soft, spicy bitterness on the finish. A true-to-style West Coast IPA.

A: The beer is hazy caramel amber in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head that gradually died down but left lots of lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass and a large, thin patch of bubbles on the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of piney hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has strong flavors of piney hops along with bits of grapefruit hops and strong underlying notes of caramel malts. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is definitely a West Coast IPA and definitely tastes "retro" in today's world of juicy and hoppy IPAs.
Serving type: can

Tall can direct from the source yesterday...no dating info that I can find.
Pours surprisingly dark, with a brownish/reddish hue, murky/hazed. medium cap leaving spots and mini fields of lacing.
Nose of ripe juicy stone fruits along with some malt notes.
Strange IPA, tastes more like a hoppy Belgian double to me with some yeasty qualities, more malts, and again ripe dark fruits, all riding over a moderate west coast style hop package.
Different/interesting but in the end, not all that great.
