Hazy amber. The aroma has breadcrust, grapefruit, pine - old school. Bitter, yeasty, crystal malt. This is straight from 1998, but a homebrew carboy because it's a bit on the yeasty side. I may have brewed this myself.

Can from Jak's Parkcrest, Burnaby
Amber colour, bright, but dangerously dark (for 2022). Mild aroma, piney resins. Not too much throwback, but still more caramel than one would need;at least the mouthfeel is lean, not sticky; resinous hops, orange peel, and earthy character; as expected, strong bitterness.
West Coast IPA full steam, old style.

Nice muddy copper body and okay foam. Big sharp hops on the nose, big malts coming through, chewy yet highly simplistic. Flavour is hoppy malts, sharp and tangy, lingering hints of pine. Full finish with good oiliness. Nothing's complex here but also no one will complain.
