Here's the west coast IPA I've been looking for. Resinous and piney bitterness, but with some honey sweetness rounding out a smooth finish. Drinks very easy for 9%.

Big body, but surprisingly smooth. Expected bitterness but it's totally subdued.
Aroma: not a strong smell. Hops.
Taste: coppery
Visual: normal? Nice lacing...
Feel: spicy

12oz snifter consumed at Manito Tap House in Spokane, WA, for $5.50.
Slightly coppery amber, with a decent, off-white head and really great clarity. Streaky, spotty lace.
The nose is redolent with geapefruiy and pine sappy hops. Minimal, sweet malt aroma.
The malts are bigger in the taste than in the nose. The taste is still dominated by the hops, but there's a big, meaty-textured malt backbone as well. The fruity and piney hops don't completely meld together, either.
Big body tothis, bigger than most IPAs, regular or double. Big, coating, sappy mouthfeel.
A lot of hops in this beer, but they don't all play nice. This is a BIG beer, almost more like a barleywine. I'm not sure it's my cup of tea.

Luckily stumbled upon this "want" in Burlington, VT. This is a beastly beer. Really pronounced hoppiness, especially on the tongue. West Coast hop concussion followed by an odd-yet-pleasant berry flavor. Enjoyed it a bunch.

Like RPM, this is top notch, with both some paradigmatic west-coast features and some dimensions that make it distinctive and unique. And it is just delicious. Anyway...from a growler into a shaker. Pours a hazy slightly dirty golden-amber. Off-white head with spotty retention and lacing. Nose is of orange rind, fleshy grapefruit, earthy piney resin, and some caramel and bready maltiness. And something else that's kind of sweet and kind of earthy (kind of like tobacco but different) and makes venom the perfect adjective. Taste follows...this is really quality. Like RPM, it isn't overly bitter...but it is really flavorful and hoppy, and there's a substantial malt presence too.
