We took our biggest, most beast-like IPA and christened it Oswald after a man way ahead of his time. Governor Oswald West came up with the brilliant idea to protect Oregon’s coastline from development. Way back in 1913. See what we mean about him? And like any politician, frankly, OIPA has that familiar bitter bite.

16oz can from brewery. Clear golden pour, bright, small frothy white head. Light hoppy aroma, fruity, citrus, pine. Taste brings stronger hop flavors with an oily feel, mild sweet/fruity notes. A very gentle IPA. I'd have loved to sip this in West Oswald State Park in the old growth forest. Aptly named.

355ml can from Tillamook creamery shop, drunk at our AirBnb in Ocean Park Washington. Pours clear gold, white froth. Fruity pine greets on the nose. Fairly light, sessionable taste profile, fruity pine for the main, moderately sweet, grassy hop with soft citrus zest. Good crushable straightforward pale, not as poky and resinous for the real West Coast IPA pigeonhole, but good for the beach it was brewed at.

12 oz can poured, picked up in Tillamook. At Tillamook Creamery. A clean and clear golden orange pour, with every sign of a classic PNW IPA. The style seems to be changing so much these days, it's good to go back to the type that inspired them all from time to time. A medium body to this IPA, a touch on the creamy side. Piney hops start the aroma, but lose momentum with the flavor. Taste is pretty balanced. A bready like malt, just barely sweet, with a grassy hop bitterness. The malt seems to get a bit more rich as this goes, but it never gets to the point where it bothers me. Overall, it's refreshing and easy drinking. A shame this is the only can from these guys that I came across.

On tap at Public Coast, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank piney hops upfront, followed by crackery malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a piney hop character and toasted biscuity malt backing. Piney and nicely balanced. Good stuff.
