On tap. Pours a clear copper-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, orange flesh and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, orange flesh, grapefruit rind and pine resin in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily finish and average carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.

Medium orangey gold and okay foam. Soft floral hop notes, hints of pine, slight macro caramel. Flavour is more chewy hops, pine, slight floral notes. ends up too watery for what it is, and just okay.

This WCIPA poured a hazy, golden colour with a creamy, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, juniper and hay. First swig was pretty good. Smooth and creamy with flavours of pine, citrus and biscuit. Finish is quite hoppy but not the most bitter, with nice malty notes lingering.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is a bit vegetal, with herbal hops, vegetal notes, and some gentle tropical fruitiness. Flavour is on the herbal side, with vegetal notes, bitter piney hops, and herbaceous notes. Not too bad, but the herbal, vegetal character isn't too pleasing.

Can at the office. Amber, a bit dull. Lots of chewy pine, crystal malt, fairly assertive bitterness, and maybe some orangey notes, which are the one thing that's not so bad. The balance isn't great, and overall this is a fairly meh rendition of an early 2000s Cali IPA.

Can that pours a slight hazed golden-amber colour with a big creamy warm light-beige cap, good retention and ample creamy lacing. West Coast-style hops with the greener leaf side over the mild caramel malts. The taste is also the greener grassy hops with decent bitterness and a nice dry finish. Like citrus peel lingering. Well-balanced for a macro West Coast IPA that does well.
