Poured a clear gold with a rocky off-white head.
Dank, tropical fruits, citrus, piney mango. Would a much more present pine note in this.
Very citrus forward. Lots of yellow grapefuit, lemon, lime, and orange pith. Hint of those tropical notes. Bitter and slightly dry on the finish. Easy to keep drinking.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Alcohol warmth is present, but appropriate.
Overall, a safe and boring "west coast" IPA that takes more from the east than it does the west. I guess the name is a play on that? I don't think that it's bad, just not interesting.

355ml can - 'Citrus | Aromatic | Coastal'. And could they have picked a worse label colour scheme for writing the marketing blurb?
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale copper amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves some splendid dissipating fog bank lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus peel, a hard water flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and resinous piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and mildly dank piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-placating frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with a touch of hop acridity maybe not exactly toeing the company line here. It finishes trending dry, the hops providing some lingering oomph.
Overall - yeah, if it seems like I'm just phoning this one in, you're probably right. It's got such a standard flavour profile (that's not a bad thing), so I figured all the typical descriptors would work, and they do. A solid offering, and with no indication of the extra point and a half of ABV, easy enough to sip on, as the deep freeze continues, unabated.
