The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a very generous off-white cap which quickly dissipates to a weak film on top. Lacing is decent. There is a soapy element to the aroma which is very strong. Behind the soap there is hints of cereal malt, light citrus, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grains, light citrus, and a weak hop finish. Far from being the best IPA I’ve ever had.

A very slight hazy amber colour with a golden highlight. The head is big, frothy-creamy, good retention and leaving some foamy lacing traces. West Coast IPA hops at first in the aromas. After breathing a bit, a mix of cereal and caramel malt base comes out. I did get some hints of tropical fruits at first, hinting the Hazy IPA style, but rest is other coast. The taste does show the juicier flavours of the fruity hops, with some decent bitterness in the finish. The dryness is fair. A mild West Coast IPA with a touch of East Coast juiciness.
