Got some gushing when I opened it... However it's not super carbonated. Nice amber gold color with a little hazyness. The smell is piney with hints of honey and apricot. We also have dark fruit notes. Great! .9 Fruity attack with citrus notes as well as honey aromas. .9 Then a nice bitterness develops and offers a broad palette of notes. We have honey, apricot, citrus and a bit of woody aromas. That's a nice development. .9 The aftertaste has apricot and dark fruit features. We have a nice developing bitterness. We also have honey and cedar notes. That's a very rich aftertaste. 1 Overall that's a wonderful beer, exactly what we expect from a west coast IPA. This beer keeps its promises and offers us a nice palette of aromas. Good beer! .9
