Brewed by two independent BC breweries, this West Coast Pale Ale is a product of our home - balanced, bright, and full of character. Alberta-grown barley lays the foundation, while a mix of fruit-forward and piney hops brings that class west coast aroma and resiny finish. Inspired by where we live, this beer is crisp, flavourful, and unmistakably West Coast.

473mL can, pours a clear bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma is bright, with a nice gentle piney hop character, some bitter grapefruit peel, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp, with bright piney hops, citrus peel, and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp, biting, and fresh. Very nice biting, hoppy APA. Very good.
