Bill A. is drinking a Havoc by North Peak Brewing Company
Fresh Coast refers to Michigan, of course, but this is a West Coast style of IPA with lots of hops and lots of flavor, but not too bitter. Well-balanced with some sweetness from fruit flavors, but not too sweet. The higher ABV is well-hidden.

Lots of fruit flavors upfront; bitter & hoppy as expected; some malty sweetness, but not too sweet. High alcohol content is hidden and not overwhelming. Drink it slowly and enjoy all the flavors. Overall: they've got another winner, this is very good!

This is a very good, full-flavored IPA, with the added sharpness/spiciness of rye; available for the first time in cans, in Michigan only
Bill A. is drinking an Unraveled IPA by Founders Brewing Co.
"Juicy" means sweet & fruity, usually too sweet for me. This one is not very sweet, with moderate bitterness, and a harsh after-taste.
Moderate body, moderate flavors, not very bitter, sweetness from lemon & lime peels; easy drinking despite the higher alcohol content.
