Presented in a 22oz bomber I purchased at Lone Hill Liquor in Glendora. Poured into an imperial pint glass.
Really nice to look at; hazy tangerine colored brew supporting a thick eggshell white head that lasted forever and left thick rings of lace on the glass.
Smell: plenty of citrusy hops aromas and honey-dipped malts. Got some resinous pine notes and orchard fruits, too.
Taste: sweet slightly yeasty caramel malt planking that stands up well to the onslaught of grapefruit rinds and pine resin hops bitterness that permeates this brew. Hops just drenches the back of the tongue and lingers long after each pull. Wipeout has a mild undercurrent of tropical fruitiness also that adds another layer of complexity.
Feel: medium-bodied, creamy due to the abundant carbonation, and ends up slick on the tongue.
Overall: damn, I could go for more of that! A finely crafted West Coast IPA. If you like the hops, track Wipeout IPA down.

This bottle is 6 months old so we'll see how it goes.

A: Pours hazy yellow with an orange hue. Huge, frothy, white head. This one is lively.

S: Slight citrus, grassy hops. Not all that aromatic and not nearly as hop forward as I like in an IPA.

T: Taste is malty and citrus hops. Again, hops are not as pronounced up front as I would like although they do show up in the form of a bitter finish.

M: Medium bodied and very lively. Slightly overcarbonated.

O: This one is a disappointment for me. Where are the hops in this West Coast IPA? Very average and forgettable, IMO. I definitely wanted to like this more. I'll have to try again with a fresher bottle.
