Don’t let the name fool you—One Trick Pony is anything but a one-note beer. This classically built West Coast IPA pays homage to the golden era of craft with a crisp malt backbone, firm bitterness, and a clean, dry finish. Simcoe dominant on the hop profile, backed up with some Centennial and Citra, expect bold, pine-driven aromatics, punchy grapefruit rind, and a flash of resinous dankness that lingers just long enough to make you reach for another sip.

16 oz. can, courtesy of Ibrew2or3 (thanks Dave), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle piney hops, light citrus, and a touch of sweet cereal malt. Flavour reveals a nice piney hop character, light woodiness, a touch of oiliness, a touch of minerality, and crisp biscuity malt. Reasonable hop expression but a bit too mineraly. Very good.

473mL can. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Bright, fruity nose with some pine and sweet malts. Flavour has a nice clean hop expression, plenty of pine, bright tropical fruit, and a crisp bitter finish. Very well done, solid WC hop expression.

Wren House rate #200. Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up tangelo and clementine like citrus, spicy malt infused onion like dank hoppiness and then a bit of berry around the edges. The taste delivers a pleasing hoppy depth with tangelo and tangerine punctuated by grapefruit and then berry mixed with a few cubes of mango. To midway some spicy onion like dankness joins the fun creating further hop depth and balance. This is damn close to my wheelhouse. Lovin' it.
