Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. No date on the can.

Appearance: medium golden hue with a light dose of haze and a thick finger of frothy ivory foam atop. Looks nice!

Smell: malt is sweet with a light fruity and piney hop aroma. It smells fresh and enticing; I like this particular take on a west coast IPA.

Taste: sweet, like the aroma; perhaps even a bit too sweet. Hops have a really nice fruity flavor; hard to pin down exactly, but something lightly earthy and tropical, like papaya or something. Along with this is a light pine note; it's different than a "normal" west coast IPA but I like this variation, despite the sweetness.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: I like this beer. Something about it makes me think it'd be a good camping beer -- the lightness of the flavor seems like it would be a good summertime sun beverage.

Poured bright yellow orange or whatever color a nearly ideal WC IPA is. The billowing head, nearly white, dissipated slowly and left regular lacing.
The aroma was very mild for my poor damaged nose but I did get some nice hoppy smells.
The taste was solid IPA, not altogether certain I would have guessed it was WC
But the citrus was obvious and the piney aspect even more so. Very enjoyable.
The feel was nicely carbonated in a way to accent the bitterness without adding more bitter. Not sure if I explained that well but there you are.
OA, very good IPA, I’d gladly drink it whenever.
