This brew pours a clear straw color and boasts an aromatic blend of tangerine, grapefruit, and a hint of passionfruit from Citra and Mosaic hops, rounded out by a piney note from Chinook. It's full-bodied with a crisp, dank, and pithy finish that won't overwhelm your palate.

Stovepipe can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours gold with a large creamy white head that persisted while going foamy and lacing. Aroma is somewhat citrus/pine but also has some soft tropical notes. Med body. Flavor is pretty much per the aroma. Tropicals could be green guava, lychee and melon. It's rather softly bitter, not so harsh as many West Coast IPAs, but the flavor is good.

Stovepipe can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 02/02/24, 7 months old, ooof
Cloudy (really?) blond colour, with medium sized head. The aroma is fruity. The mouthfeel is a bit starchy, goes in the direction of Hazies, quite dry though; bitter, but the hop profile reminds me more of a mediocre Hazy than a piney West Coast; bitter orange peel, light pith; soma alcohol warmth too.
Decent beer, but I'm quite annoyed for them ab-using the 'West Coast' label.

Big can. Pours a dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of doughy malts, passionfruit, candied citrus, soft pine, and a bit of stoned fruit. Flavors of passionfruit, grass, bitter citrus, bready malts and pine.
