Not much going on here; the only thing West Coast about this IPA is the moderate bitterness, lacking much of the hefty caramel-tinged malt base or strong citrus hop notes you want in the style. Resin on the back end doesn't come anywhere near the early-2010s heights of hop vitriol insanity, instead offering a manageable dose of pine before fading into a weak, mostly nondescript fade. Hints of grapefruit and earth pop up, but not enough to add much depth. Very skippable.

Shared bottle. Pours almost black with a tan head. Aroma and flavors of roasted malt, mocha, dark chocolate notes, ash. Good.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish straw gold with a small head that dissipates quickly. Lemon zest, clove and light peppercorn on the nose. Thin body and watery on the palate. Some lingering clove and peppercorn flavors come out. Lingeirng peppercorn and lemon on the finish. The citrus comes off a little overdone and palate is just too watery.

Very bready witbier, with a noticeable yeasty middle and a subtle grapefruit bite on the back end. Ginger makes for a nice addition, and the dry finish keeps the vanilla-clove elements from dominating, but the fade is a bit dull and the texture’s on the watery side. Not bad, but it’s easy to find a better white ale.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/27/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, citrus peel/zest, pine, toasted bread, light honey/caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Classic Cascade hop profile on a nice bready malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Not much to this pint; modest orange notes mixed with modest hops and modest cracker malts with a modest bitterness and a modest citric fade. Modest carbonation yields a modest head. Modest nose gives up modest whiffs of fruit and grain. New packaging's nice, though.

Grabbed sixer for cookout I’m having tomorrow wasn’t supposed to dip into tonight but these are desperate times. Fine cloudy straw colored some sediment. Nose citrus and vegetal. Tastes of lime, green onion, straw, floral, kumquat. Zippy enough.
