From an undated 12oz can into pint glass.
Pours a slightly hazy light brownish yellow with maybe one finger of white head. Ok retention, not so good lacing. a lot more floaties in here than I usually see in a WCIPA.
Floral, lemon, earth, citrus and light pine aromas.
Some lemon and citrus on the taste. Mild piney bitterness on the back end of the sip.
Fairly easy drinking. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Mildly bitter aftertaste.
While this is a nice beer to drink on the beach, I'm not sure it's hitting that WCIPA vibe for me.

This isn't a bad West Coast IPA. It pours golden brown, the smell is fantastic (lots of grape fruit) and the feel is light.
The taste doesn't match the smell or feel. Very piney and very little grape fruit. It is a light IPA which you can pound on the beach....easily!
Solid beer, are thier better IPAs, yes. Maybe for a day trip to the beach.....this may be the BEST!

For a beach brewery this is pretty decent. Not citrusy like a ne ipa. Has a moderate hop to it. Goes down fairly easy. Grab one and try it when at myrtle beach.
