I've been looking to get my hands on a good west coast pale ale for some time and am not disappointed here. Quite, quite pale for a pale ale, not quite the amber hue one tends to expect. Happy white head and foam top the slightly hazed pale body. The nose is bright and punchy, the flavor even more so. The topnote of hops in the flavor is very distinctive; haven't had anything quite like it. Other flavors chime in but the distinctive hop flavors hold my attention. T'would be nice to get this on a regular basis; as it stands I'm enjoying this happily smuggled west coast item.
