What does "West Coast style beer" mean?
Hoppy beer - exceeding the style parameters?
The type of hop - Cascade, Centennial, etc?
Grapefruit / pine hop flavors / aroma?
What does this term mean?
???

I would say the west coast philosophy is "hops, hops and more hops."
-
When I think "west coast" I think of Anchor's Steam Beer...

Here's a thread I started some time ago that debates EC v. WC beer. I think it will help you.

Hut dang,
that was a good thread, can't believe I got in on it.
I miss the blatz, and hope all is well with that one.
West Coast style? Hops, light in color, hops, dry, hops, and hops, and hops.
BTW, now it seems...it is a truely a style and not a region. That is....the style can now be brewed on the east coast...with "imported" hops. ;D

And big flavor...nothing subtle. Big and hoppy, hoppy and big, hoppy and hoppy, big....you get the idea....

The club, not the rapier.

All you westies just like using 4 letter words
in more ways than one ;)
h***, h***, h***, and just for good measure more h***

lots of hops, and a dry crisp finish (with hops), and maybe some more hops and from what I've seen < 10SRM, light to medium light body, but still packs a punch, did we say hoppy?

If West Coast style is so distinct, will the BJCP ever start a West Coast Style category?

Don't forget a dash of Chinese mercury and a pinch of Japanese cesium.

Maybe someday.
