That’s a properly made WCIPA. Resinous and oily, good malt sweetness, sun-kissed grain, ripening citrus fruits, piney resin. Lotta breweries just slap ‘West Coast’ on a beer nowadays and the liquid is just some nondescript hop sauce. Really nice to have a brewery deliver a true WC offering.

Thin off white head on pale amber coloured body.
Orange & resinous aroma.
Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with well carbonated cloying back.
Resin, orange, dank, grapefruit & light malt tastes with an extremely long bitter finish.
Harsh - Love it!

Can from Lupe Pintos. Hazy golden body with a thick off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach and lemon curd. Flavour of pine and honey. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A solid IPA - a touch sweeter than my favourite west coast IPAs.

500ml can. Clear golden, white head. Aroma of piney resin, citrus peel. Taste is very resinous, piney, citrus peel, caramel, marmalade, lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very nice, drinks more like a pale ale than an IPA, which isn't a bad thing but one might expect a little more punchiness from it.
