A delicious and crushable West Coast IPA. Slightly hazy and beautifully aromatic, with flavours of juicy tropical fruits.

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for around $3.75 CDN. No canning date listed.
Appearance - Explosively foamy out of the can to the point of making a mess, before the pour could even start. What was poured yielded a semi-hazy dark golden color with three fingers of white frothy head. Very good retention and does have a classic West coast IPA look to it.
Smell - Big piney notes, caramel and a little citrus mixed in. Strong malt backbone. Reasonably strong aromatics.
Taste - Pine, a touch of orange and a bready and caramel background. Fairly assertively bitter, but not quite blow your socks off.
Mouthfeel - Full bodied, robust prickly finish and fairly dry as well.
Overall - Solid West Coast style IPA, taste and in terms of flavor punches above it's weight.
