The name is referring to West Coast IPA, which kind of tells you that they are not beer geeks. I was definitely expecting some other type of beer. Murky, dull appearance and same on the palate…malts not doing much, hops are vague. Fermentation is an issue here.

Dull appearance. Medium head. Fusels, some bitterness, the loral isn’t going to shine through this. Sticky, didn’t ferment properly.

Opaque. Pale, not much head. Fruity mandarina comes through and it has decent bitterness. The malt isn’t great but it fermented better than the other ones.

Dullish, pale, not much head. Ok hop, talus, the malts is sticky, and that really undermines things. The fermentation isn’t all the way off but it’s an issue in the balance.
