Gotta like Summit hops, cause this one has that oniony element they can throw. I didn't get "lush" elements, buy maybe they were compromised given the travel and temperature dynamics that brought it to my door.

16 FL OZ can
Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours a brilliant amber hue. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves no lacing.
Dank aroma. Earthy. Citrus and pine.
Dank, dank flavor. Slight medicinal. Citrus in the middle. Pine in the finish.
Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel
This is a tasty west coast IPA. Dank and bitter. Very enjoyable.

This is labeled as a “lush West-Coast IPA”. It was purchased while home in Michigan over this holiday season.
Appearance is this beer’s finest point. Thin white line of head-retention over a golden, chrisp, refreshing liquid. Lacing is a “C”, maybe a “C+” on better days.
Smell seems to have fallen off after only a few weeks in the can (I believe this is a result of the summit hops, but that is just a guess).
Taste is fine, albeit on the cusp of being uninspiring. If this is the first west coast IPA you’ve had, it may enlighten you. If this is your millionth WCIPA, perhaps you’ll feel differently.
Feel is crisp and on the sweeter side. If you believe WCIPAs should be dry and dank you’ll be let down. If you believe any and all IPAs should be refreshing, then you may find a home in this.
Overall this beer is a C. It leaves me curious enough to continue trying MothFire Brewing when given the chance, but in the meantime I won’t miss having it.
