Last Best IPA is clear and copper colored. Head is packed, off white, and lasting.
Aroma is hop forward, giving me notable aromas of pine resin and woodsy hops. Malt lends support in the form of caramel As my nose goes in for a second look, it notices the smell of ripe oranges rounding out the overall profile. Slightly grainy aroma provides a through note, giving the whole aroma balance.
Taking a sip, Last Best IPA definitely tastes like an IPA. It's smooth, medium bodied with very gentle carbonation. Grainy, biscuity malt flavors carry into a center where I get the rounder, slightly sweeter flavor of caramel. The finish is woodsy, bitter, and lasting.
Last Best is on the one hand straightforward in its own way. But it's also flavorful, balanced, and lastingly bitter in the finish. The beer's malt flavors carry the hop profile deftly making this a very decent American IPA.

Poured from a 355ml can.
A nice West Coast style IPA, but hazy ,super easy drinking with a nice bitter hop finish.
Reminds me of Fat Tug from B.C. Not a session IPA at 6.5
