    HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES!

    It’s perfect. A great collab that hits all the right notes.

  2. 4 out of 5 stars

    OUTSTANDING BALANCE!

    Missing the DANK and the Bitterness kick which old style west coast IPA’s would have. I do not miss it. Appearance - 4.5 -  Clear gold with a 1.5 finger white head and moderate lace Aroma - 4.5 - Lightly tropical, mild biscuit, citrus, mild pine, light herbal Taste - 4.5- Citrus, pine, grapefruit pith bitterness. Delicious. Mouth Feel - 4 - Medium body and carbonation. Smooth. Overall - 4.4 - Brilliantly balanced brew. There's a heavy Russian River influence here. I really like this. It is outstanding, but not world class.. Get it if you can.

    PINEY & BITTER GOODNESS!

    Solid WCIPA from a Justice League of Brewers. Piney, resinous, and bitter.

    A Choice Brew

    A much-anticipated, mighty collaboration between some CA titans (looking at you, SN and RR!). Pours a beautiful clear and bright golden amber. Big frothy white head, which sticks around a bit. Missing the quintessential SN lacing. Aroma right away made me smile. Cantaloupe, pineapple, pine, citrus, some lemon/lime and grape? Taste follows nose. Balanced. Highly quaffable. Missing the DANK and the Bitterness kick. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin. Flavor is there, but does not linger on the finish. Overall, met my expectations, but did not exceed. I figured with this lineup of collaborators, it'd be a palate-blasting, mind-blowing experience. It is outstanding, but not world class. Too many cooks in the kitchen? Anywho, I'm sure it was a good time brewing it, and it is, indeed, a good time drinking it. Getcha Pull! Cheers!

    COLLABORATION MAGIC!!

    An amazing West Coast IPA!! What a collaboration, with three of my favorite breweries (Pinthouse, Russian River & Sierra). I will definitely make a stop to visit Green Cheek when opportunity arrives. Great taste, refreshing, fruity, piney with a great finish. Please collaborate again or better yet continue to make it.

    DELICIOUS, BUT NOT A 'WOW'

    It is a delicious, well balanced, smooth, and drinkable West Coast IPA. However, not 5 stars because Sierra Nevada (almost) every time makes me exclaim "man, they (still) know what they are doing". This time however, delicious, but not a "wow" I am glad I spent $$$ on this.

    GREAT COLLABORATION! Readers's Choice...wish it was on Audible with a tap.

    Absolute great beer and collaboration especially getting Russian River and Pinthouse with you. Not familiar with Green Cheek, but I will be now. Perfect with a burger or grilled salmon sald. 2 four-packs are not enough. Limiting myself to 1 every other night.

    Beautiful Westie delivered to my door! 😍

    A Westie for Westie IPA lovers! Clean bright bitterness and dankness perfectly balanced by thoughtful malt and fermentation.

    Readers' Choice West Coast IPA

    Surprisingly solid malt backbone. Pine/C hops initially then balanced mixed hops. It's SN heritage might be most noticeable but not in a big way. Big mouth feel, creamy, clean. Think "old school" but in a updated, fresh way. Excellent.

    Tasty and Enjoyable

    Tasty. A little dank, but in a good way. Must confess Sierra and Russian River are my favorite breweries so I new this would be a good one.
