Beautiful golden copper color with a creamy white head that sticks around a bit and provides nice lacing throughout the journey with this beer. The nose is old school WCDIPA, with fruity citrus and resiny pine, and some caramalt. I am salivating.
And I am not disappointed , because this is all about the hops and malt and gravitas of this impressive beer. There’s grapefruit, ripe tangerine, huge resiny pine, and a substantial caramalt flavor at the back of the palate. I could drink a keg of this.
The mouthfeel is full and substantial, and more than a little drying. Absolutely love it, and need more of it, because this is truly outstanding, IMHO.

12oz can (dated 4/27/22) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear dark copper color with over an inch of barely off-white head that had good retention and light lacing.
The aroma had a solid malt base, a touch of sweetness, and solid, bright hops on top. the hops were mostly old-school C-hops, with some Citra and Ekuanot added in.
The flavor was similar, just brighter and bolder. citrus hop dominant, with a solid malt base.
The body was also old-school WCIPA; semi-full, some bitey coarseness, a finish that started a bit sweet, but dried out after a moment.
Drinkability was very good, a pleasant quaff, especially for us lovers of "real" IPAs.
Overall, a solid and enjoyable brew. Worth grabbing if you see it.
