Brewed for our 7th Anniversary. A celestial array of hops fill this expansive West Coast-style double IPA. Flavors and aromas shift between tropical, dank, citrus, pine, and bright fruit.

Thanks to @Jayorear. A fresh can- dated 7-19. A viscous, golden pour, light head, a mere ring of lacing. Very prominent hop aroma comes up, fades away. The taste is very smooth, lots of flavor, bitterness on the tongue, but well controlled. Thick mouthfeel, so you know you're into a serious beer indeed. Piney taste, but not so much like gnawing a pine cone. It's dangerously drinkable, especially sipping it on the porch in the first cool evening after a heat wave. Seek it out!

Thanks Damon and Tina.
This was poured into a tulip. Canning date of 07/19/18.
The appearance was a golden bronzed copper color shouldering a fine foamy finger's worth of white head. Moderate lace.
The aroma had a very nicely done blend of pine needles, danky earthy sweetness, sweet driftwood and a touch of the bitter side of some citrus rind.
The flavor meshes the prior mentioned aromas to a refined danky sweet underscored by a stable bitterness. Mild aftertaste of the pine needles and danky earthiness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. ABV is big in this yet doesn't find itself to be distracting towards the enjoyment of this beer. Carbonation felt good. Finish was fairly smooth with a long enjoyable bitterness.
Overall, quite an enjoyable West coast styled IPA I'd be willing to have again.
