16 can into a pint glass.
L: Pours very lightly yeast hazed almost clear lemony gold w a 3/4" off white head w OK retention to a skin, light fine carbo, light lacing.
S: Dirty well water, dirty diesel, rancid cooking oil, Kraft American cheese, some fruits, automobile engine compartment. Kind of industrial.
T: Unidentifiable fruits, citrus zest, egg wash, lightly bitter, dirty well water, muted malts, a light resinous linger.
F: Lightly sharp med-bodied feel w a med-long drying finish with light grit.
O: I had a difficult time enjoying this beer due to it's aroma which I find unpleasant. Dankness has many forms and this is one I dislike. It has an impact on taste and overall drinkability. Also, this offering is pretty far off from its WC style. A swing and a miss. Either under-refined or overly so, it's okay at best.

Can. White head with lace. Slightly cloudy yellow gold.

Has some west coast notes with pine and resin flavors, but still has tropical/juicy hazy notes. There is a nice amount of bitterness, but up front it is fairly soft. I feel some brewers just can’t make real west coast ipas because they are used to hazies. It’s a decent beer, but definitely not a true west coast.
