Radiant Time To Dream 4Pk is a 6.9% ABV West Coast IPA from Radiant Beer Co. in Anaheim, California, sold as a four-pack of cans. Brewed by the 2021 Great American Beer Festival Small Brewery of the Year, this hop-forward release showcases a carefully selected quartet of Citra, Mosaic, Strata, and Simcoe hops that the brewery calls "the ideal modern West Coast IPA."Quick Facts: ABV: 6.9% | Origin: Anaheim, California | Style: West Coast IPA | Brewery: Radiant Beer Co.Production & HeritageRadiant Beer Co. operates out of Anaheim, California, and quickly earned national recognition, winning the 2021 GABF Small Brewery of the Year award and the 2022 Alpha King Challenge Championship. Time To Dream is built on a four-hop bill of Citra, Mosaic, Strata, and Simcoe — each contributing a distinct layer of tropical and resinous character. The result sits squarely in the modern West Coast IPA tradition: bright, aromatic, and decisively bitter without the haze or sweetness of its East Coast counterparts.Tasting NotesAroma: Passion fruit and white peach lead the nose, followed by dank resinous pine from the Simcoe and Strata additions. There is a floral lift underneath that keeps the aromatics lively.Taste: The entry delivers bold pineapple and mango, with lime zest cutting through at mid-palate. As the hop oils develop, the bitterness asserts itself with resinous structure, balancing the fruit-forward punch without overwhelming it.Finish: Crisp and moderately bitter, with lingering tropical fruit and a dry, clean close. The bitterness resolves quickly enough to invite the next sip without palate fatigue.How to Drink Time To DreamServe cold — around 40–45°F — straight from the can or poured into a tulip glass to open up the hop aromatics. This IPA is best enjoyed fresh; hop-forward beers lose vibrancy over time, so drink it sooner rather than later. For food-and-beer pairing cocktails, Time To Dream also works in a Beer-garita (half IPA, half frozen margarita) where the tropical hops amplify citrus flavors, a Michelada variation that benefits from the beer's lime-like acidity, or a Hop Shandy blended with fresh lemonade for a lighter warm-weather drink.Best For Sharing with friends at a backyard cookout or taco night Gifting to a craft beer enthusiast who appreciates West Coast-style IPAs Stocking for a beer tasting flight alongside hazy and classic IPA styles Pairing with bold, spicy, or grilled foods that can stand up to hop bitterness Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Time To Dream taste like?
