Common descriptors are
A West Coast style IPA hopped with Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra then dry-hopped with Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra.

The West Side IPA is a huge hop-forward beer inspired by the great IPAs brewed on the West Coast. Pronounced tangerine and resin hop aromas are evident as soon as you pick up the glass, with an assertive bitterness upon tasting. This brew features a light bodied malt character with subtle bready notes, but the real star of the show is the massive hop flavor and aroma. Complex citrus, resinous pine notes, and floral tones round out the wonderful aroma that makes this beer so enjoyable.
