jgalm (6) - Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA - DEC 13, 2021 does not count UPDATED: DEC 13, 2021 The pour is slightly hazy, orange golden, with a moderately fine off-white head and abundant carbonation trails. It's glass lace is annular and long lasting, but not uniform. First nose is pine and fruit -- definitely Simcoe hops forward with mango. As it opens, a bit of citrus come up. The first sip is serious bright hops and pine with Simcoe still in front. A soft mouth feel is more velvety than light. As the taste evolves, a little subtle yeast appears and gives way to a bright fruit finish with a hint of sweetness. There is not much astringency at the end, ending with the notes of fruit and sweet. I am pleased with this IPA, as a very drinkable beer and a nice representation of the style.
Westy1130 (173) - New York, USA - DEC 5, 2021UPDATED: DEC 5, 2021 Managed to find a relativity fresh bottle at my local distributor. Hazy gold color with sweet and bitter aroma: Hops, pine, citrus, pineapple and other tropical fruits. Moderate hop bitterness with sweet fruit punch flavor finish.
coachd (2388) - O'Fallon, Missouri, USA - OCT 25, 2021UPDATED: OCT 25, 2021 Bottle from Binny's downtown Chicago. Super excited to try this. The aroma is citrus/pine goodness. The appearance is a medium orange color with a bright white head. Brilliant amount of hops in the taste; it's just enough without becoming overwhelming. Nice palate, the carbonation and density is just enough like the hops. Outstanding. If I ever see this again, I will buy it without giving it a second thought.

Jabah (2479) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - JUL 14, 2021UPDATED: JUL 14, 2021 Seen this around in the Washington DC metro area, but didn't try it until recently bought on trip to Rhode Island. Was already in the bottle for 8 weeks, so may have lost some of it's aroma and freshness. Definitely got a West Coast vs juicy/hazy vibe. Maybe a tad too much Centennial or Cascade, as I got that semi-soapy perfume flavor normally get with those hops. Some pine and resin in there...with a light to medium clearish gold appearance classic to this style. Has a crisp refreshing feel. A little hyped up IMO, especially for the price point. I'll give Dinner a try next I guess.
