16 oz. can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has gently dank hops, piney, some resinous hops oils, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with oily resinous hops, piney goodness, gentle dankness, and just enough biscuity malt to back. Piney, oily palate. Excellent westie.

16 oz can. Aroma is all leafy green hops and tropical pineapple-esque expressions, some light onion, pine. Pours hazy golden with a one finger cream white head with good retention. Taste is lightly bittersweet with flavors like the aroma. Could use more carbonation.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice subtle dankness to it, piney hops, and soft doughy, bready malt. Flavour is very fresh and clean as hell, with a wonderful mix of doughy malt, piney hops, and dankness. Masterful fresh hop WCIPA here. Everything is how I could hope. Finishes moderately bitter, vibrant and doughy. Excellent.
