Comment on 7% ABV

Other way around. West coast IPAs tend to be more bitter and resiny. NE IPAs are the hazy ones. Tend to be much fruitier and juicier.

Both can be quite juicy, though you’re right. I should have focused on Pacific hops rather than West Coast styles, since they do feature resiny qualities in their fat hop schedules.
Rather than look at style, look for specific hops: Galaxy, Amarillo, Azaca, etc.
