The aroma is in the can are resin with a little bit of citrus and stone fruit. In the glass it changes to more balanced of the same qualities and add in a bit of MJ. flavors are similar to nose, with good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Mildly bitter finish.

I found this 12 oz can in the singles display at the nearest HEB supermarket. Curiously they had it at a price somewhat higher than comparable 16 oz IPAs from other breweries. Let us see if it is worth it. I’m using my New Belgium globe glass whose brewery is in the same town as Odell. The pour is a clear, shiny orange body with a persistent top of absolutely white foam. The scent is dominated by tropical fruit with some citrus and grain working into the mix. I get a surprising jolt of hops at the front end of the taste, a different direction from the nose. There’s also oranges, lime, malt, cantaloupe, and a medium bitterness. The label says this is a west coast DIPA, interesting. A fairly tasty brew in any case.

Does not taste like a West Coast IPA or West Coast Double IPA.

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy, orange golden pour, small frothy white head. Light citrusy aroma. Wait a minute, it says West Coast on the can? Taste is stone fruit with mild bitterness. I'm confused. All the trappings of a NEIPA labelled as West Coast.
