First sip is a healthy IPA. It's hops are very floral, and there is citrus there to balance things out a bit. The malt is cutting the bitterness with gusto while remaining in the background. There are hints of more complicated tastes, but the vast majority of everything I can taste is that citrus (I think oranges) and the floral hops. It's quite good, for a sip.
A good swig brings tip-in of citrus and light floral hops. The middle is something else entirely. It swims with biscuits and grainy somethings that combine with the hops to produce an odd sensation at the roof of the mouth. The carbonation is adding to the effect, but I'm not sure I've tasted something like this before. It finishes off with sweetness from the malt and dies away with another hit of hops, but with minimal bitterness.
Bottom Line: West Coast IPA done right.
4.75/5
