473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, tangerine, peach, cantaloupe and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit peel, peach, cantaloupe and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not sure I'd call this a west coast, but still a solid IPA.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma bursts with lots of bright piney hops, citrus, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright, with lots of piney and citrusy hops, a touch of dankness, and biscuity malt. Piney, citrusy finish. Very good stuff.

Pours hazy light golden. Aroma has a lot of citrus; lots of hops. Flavour is hoppy, grapefruit, resinous. Persistent light bitterness. A bit of candy on the finish. Mouthfeel not super aggressive.

Can from High Point, Vancouver, batch 002, unclear tag, xx/31/23, this could be as fresh as 5 days, or 2+ months old
Hazy pale blond colour, small head, looks like eggwhites. Intense tropical and citrus aroma, slightly dank; this is more powerful that most beers I had recently. It's very dry, toasted rice base, it's delicate and crisp; the hop is piney, mildly dank, and with some bitter grapefruit peel; the bitterness level is good.
Quite unusual profile in all aspects (apart from the bitterness), but the result is extremely pleasant.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish blonde with small white head. Grassy citus, resin hops with a light body, gives me Cold IPA vibes. Decent.

Slightly dull colour, and slight haze. Medium head. Hop aroma is weedy and oniony. On the palate, it's a bit light of body, and only moderately bitter. Hops express in a similar manner to the aroma. Kiss of sweetness in the finish. A softer, blonder take on a WC IPA (which is what it's billed as). Good, though.
