From the brewer

Our flagship IPA is a well-balanced yet aggressive West Coast IPA that showcases Yakima Valley hops at their finest. Late additions of Simcoe®, Citra®, Ahtanum™, and Mosaic™ give this beer its complex citrus, fruity, and floral aroma and flavor. Named for a unique piece of farm equipment that removes hop vines from the trellis during the annual hop harvest, Topcutter IPA delivers loads of hoppiness all year long.

Who's been drinking this

Next to all the sour flavors, this came out almost bracingly acrid. Settled down over time but I definitely didn't enjoy this near as much as usual.
Can at Work
Fragrant, fresh-tasting, piney IPA, not bitter or pithy at all.
Cold. Crisp. A lovely IPA with no bitterness. Clean finish.
Draft
Very nice cereal body and pleasant bitterness. Hints of pine.
