355ml, single can - 'Canada Sevens' is apparently a rugby thing (numbers, and all), a fact that is not at all evident on the label, FWIW.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky beige head, which leaves some high-flying, dispersing sudsy cloud form lace around the glass as it eventually recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, kind of warm-seeming domestic citrus rind, a touch of earthy yeastiness, and some peppy leafy, herbal, and certainly piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, muddled citrus and tropical fruity notes, a still extant minor yeast thing, and more heady earthy, leafy, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is actually fairly active, in its well-supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with only a bit of testy citrus and piney astringency taking a minor chunk out of our enjoyment here. It finishes off-dry, the lingering caramel malt still parrying the typical citrus and piney West Coast hop bitterness - good times!
Overall, this is certainly a pleasant enough West Coast IPA, the hoppiness well split between the expected citrusy and verdant hoppy characters. I like this, for sure, but somehow I can't imagine those knuckleheads who play rugby to give a flying fuck about anything other than the generic lager plopped down in front of them after the tilt - and, I can't say that I, of all people, would be any different, were I one of them.
