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.

Can from Against The Grain. Mostly clear golden body with a white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon and lemongrass. Flavour of floral hops, lemon and a crisp, bitter finish. Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Tangy and very bitter.

440ml can. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head, an ungodly amount of sediment making for an unsightly snowglobe, thankfully sank to the bottom. Aroma of citrus, melon, stone fruits. Taste is very citrusy, lemon, grapefruit, peachy and melon, citric bite at the end. Light-medium bodied.
A very decent AF beer just a shame about the absurd amount of chunks in it.
