Great can art, even better looking pour. Got a huge mountain of head leaving chunks of foam that stuck to the glass. Body could be a tiny bit clearer.
Aroma is super piney and floral. Almost no fruit, except grapefruit and lime zest. No notable malt on the nose.
This is much smoother and milder on the palate than the nose suggests. The lime zest notes really shine here. Its all lime and pine and dank weed, but somehow it really works.
The texture is excellent too. A sight malty sweetness comes in near the end, evolving into a dry floral finish akin to a pilsener. Honestly I think it could be more crisp though.
Really good West Coast IPA. Could do with a bit more punch, considering the name. But I would love to drink this at a rock show.
