Can. Pours clear yellow gold, fluffy medium white head, lasting with great lacing. Aroma is a nice blend of dankness, pine resin, some grapefruit, perhaps mango. Flavor is dry with light plus bitterness. Light body. Nice West-Coaster. I really appreciate that OP still emphasizes WC IPA in their lineup.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 11, 2020. Aroma is hop forward and fruity with lots.of orange, grapefruit, tropical citrus and passion fruit. Medium cracker malt notes and hints of caramel. Hints of alcohol. Pours a clear, brilliant, golden orange with a medium large, thick, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderate cracker malt notes and hints of biscuit and caramel. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of orange, grapefruit, tangerine and lighter tropical citrus, passion fruit and resin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty solid IPA. Solid West Coast style with fairly assertive bitterness and balanced malt profile. Fairly fruity hop aroma, but the flavor is a bit more of a classic West Coast IPA.
