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.

The aroma is super fresh, weedy, west coast dank, rope, leather, lemon, lime,. grapefruit, kiwi, greengage, woodruff, sandalwood, herbal accents and thyme. The taste is super crispy, huge bitterness, dry, weedy, dank, leather, bong rips, herbal, kiwi fruit, gooseberry, slightly soapy, woody, jaegermeister, alcohol hit, floral and fragrant vibes with a drying, fragrant finale.. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Super bright, bitter and dank. Very well done.
