Fruity-hoppy flavour and pleasant balance. I guess I'm not as huge on this as some other people, but it's not bad stuff.

A relatively underrated beer (and brewery for that matter) by afficionados, but I think this is a wonderfully aromatic and easy going West Coast IPA, well worth seeking out, especially on cask.
