12oz can from Pearl Street Market. Dark golden pour, thin layer of foamy head. Aroma is malty with some noticeable happiness. Taste brings caramel malts, notes of pine and a lingering bitterness. Classic NW pale ale

Can from my brother: pours pale with a fizzy head. Aroma is pretty light. Floral hints and grass. Taste is crisp with a pleasant sustained bitterness. Enjoyable.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is apple, pine, caramel, and coriander. Sweet and malty, with a mild bitterness. Medium body, syrupy, and a bit thin. Solid.

Single can bought at Liquor Shed. No dating.
Pretty clear for the style, nice gold colour, good head of foam.
Big pine and grapefruit aromas that seem more bitter than they should be. Even for a West Coast, of which this is supposedly not. Little bit of dankness.
Yikes, this is bitter, but not in a good way. Pine and grapefruit, yes, but it takes me to a place that I don't desire. Mild dankness helps some. Deeper into the session and I get more used to the flavours and it ain't half bad.
Good mouthfeel.
I was pretty unimpressed with it originally but it turned out decent in the end.
