What's on the Can/Website: "This spectacle of West Coast IPA wizardry was lavished with massive quantities of Nelson, Strata, Mosaic, & Centennial hops. Together, this quartet of lupulin-laden stunners yields a soul-stirring symphony of citrus, stone fruit, & tropical character with just enough pleasantly snappy bitterness to really stick the landing. We’re pretty psyched about it; we think you might be, too."

REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured slightly hazy golden into a pint glass. Clears up as the beer warms up. Very frothy white head, some lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Very soft citrus and stone fruit. Complementing creamy malt notes. 4/5

Taste (40%): Fruity citrus and stone fruit from start to finish. Bitterness largely kept in check. Getting a bit of orange peel on the aftertaste. Flavor overall feels muted, wish that packed more punch. 4/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. I think Modern Times held back on the flavor here, but it's a solid West Coast IPA option. Huge fan of the drinkability given that it's 7.2%. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.05/5
