West Coast Pale Ale. The perfect balance of five diffent malts and hand selected Hops. The distinctive flavour and aroma make this one truly smooth and inviting beer.

Looks pretty good, nice bronze coloured ale with a decent off white head that hangs out for a bit. Pretty, intricate and sticky webs of lace also want to stick around.
Smells pretty tame but also decent. Pale malts with some caramelized notes, as well as a lightly citrus and floral hop presence.
Taste is much like the nose, but a grassiness emerges upon the finish that detracts.
Good enough feel, slightly chewy yet with a slightly smooth creaminess. Slightly more than slightly astringent, which also detracts.
This is fairly drinkable. Its also fairly timid and unadventurous. Not anything like the few cutthroat trout ive had the pleasure of catching on a dry fly... but i digress. A decent enough pale ale, but nothing that really stands out form the crowd.

500 ml can.
Best Before date stamped on the bottom edge.....kudos for that !
An Amber Ale, not a "West Coast Pale Ale" as advertised (very malt forward, with little or no hop flavours) ....but not a disqualifying issue for these types in my book.
Pours a warm red with a nice creamy head;
clean, crisp taste, some malty sweetness;
some lacing left on the glass.
A very good sessionable beer.

Poured into a Fremont pint glass. Pours a medium coppery amber with a one finger white head with great retention and nice lacing. Aroma of biscuit and caramel malt, butter, toffee and grassy hops; English profile. Flavor is also English, much like the aroma with rich biscuit and caramel malt, dry grassy hops; long lingering biscuit and dry hop finish. Medium bodied with a pleasant light creaminess. Oddly both ales I had tonight are labeled in a way that I was expecting something else; first was a cream ale, now a "West Coast Ale", but both would not be out of place in an English pub. This is very malty with English style dry grassy hops. It is nicely balanced, pleasantly malty and nice to drink, but not what I'd expect today for a West Coast style. On the other hand, this is likely to be what an English inspired ale might have been on the West Coast in the last century, and that's not a bad thing. Just south of British Columbia, we have quite a very small selection of good, malty English style ales. Truth is, I'd buy this again in a heartbeat. I like malty ales and this is well balanced and flavorful. The only flaw is a bit of butteriness in the aroma, but that does not show up in the tasted. Hops are traditional and not too exciting, but appropriate for the rest of the ale. I like this quite a bit.
