Counterstrike: 6.8% West Coast IPA. There are times for mellow beers. And there are times for an absolute banger of a West Coast IPA. Krush, Mosaic, Citra and Talus Lupomax bring all the zesty citrus notes, creating a beautiful explosion of orange, mango and pine held together with a bitter backbone.

Pretty good stuff overall. More or less by the book WCIPA. Some sun-kissed malts, mellow piney bitterness, orange rind, bread, a nip of caramel. Sweet finish, on the malty side overall. Fairly enjoyable.
