Canned 6/10/24.
L: Pours a clear gold with a big white fluffy head that quickly thins on top and remains around the glass only for a bit. No lacing at all.
S: Aromas of pine, green apple and weed.
T: Grapefruit up front, then a citrus / juicy fruit middle. Finishes pleasantly dry and bitter.
F: Medium to light mouthfeel. Low carbonation.
O: Nice bitter to juicy to bitter flavor profile. West Coast for sure, but without an overly aggressive bitter bite. Docked a notch for flat appearance.

16oz. can into a BBT snifter.
Pours crystal clear. 1 finger foamy white head with great lace. Nose is unripened pear, fresh grass, and honeysuckle. Light sweetness and very bright. Beer opens honeysuckle, pine, and grass. I get hints of melon, lychee, and logan in the middle. Some pear and green apple towards the end. Light bitterness throughout. Great balance. Body is light with moderate to ample carbonation. Quenching and aggressive on the palate yet goes down smooth, soft, and dry.
Really great way to kick off my experience with this brewery.

Enjoyed this on tap.
It pours WCIPA all the way.
The aroma has some stone fruit and floral notes. Sip follows, with a light bitterness on the end.
