Overall, this beer pours, looks, and tastes "as advertised." It is a typical west coast APA, with a nice hop profile. The flavours I would expect are definitely here and the taste contains the bright citrus, bread, and pine that I have come to appreciate in this style of beer. This beer is well-priced and definitely worth a return visit!

Appearance - Pours a light hazy amber with a finger of bubbly white head.
Smell - citrus and piney hops, bready caramel malts, hint of tropical fruits.
Taste - Citrus and piney hops followed by the bready caramel malts, and hint of tropical fruits. Hint of pine resin rounds out the brew.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes dry with a lingering bitterness from the citrus and piney hops along with the pine resin.
Overall - An APA with a good hop profile with the malts acting as a nice supporting cast. The aroma could use a little more showcase from the hops but that is a minor detail.

650ml bottle, which seems to be an ode to the West Coast Trail, by depicting one of the more bucolic stretches of said, um, 'hike'. And could they have made the driftwood on the label look any more like beached sharks?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with a fistful of puffy, rocky, and rather bubbly beige head, which leaves some stellar webbed lace all around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of bready, lightly crackery caramel malt, acrid pine needles, semi-sweet lemon, orange, and lime citrus, a softly peppery spiciness, and further earthy, leafy, and floral hops. The taste is gritty pale and grainy caramel malt, a perfumed leafiness, oily orange and 'limon' rind, and mildly bitter earthy, weedy hops.
The bubbles are pretty laid-back, and barely perceptible at times, the body an adequate medium weight, and mostly smooth, a small airy creaminess manifesting as things march on. It finishes off-dry, the grainy caramel malt and perfumed citrusy hops cementing their overarching partnership.
An enjoyable enough hoppy pale ale, though the hops betray the British heritage of this brewing region - more noble, floral, and perfumed character than overt citrus and pine sledgehammer. At any rate, it's pretty drinkable, what with the sensible ABV and overall balance - not that I'd want to lug this bomber on any sort of long walk.
