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.

Iridescent gold with a rapidly falling white head. Fruity aroma, passion fruit, peach, some citrus and pine. Pleasant, fruity flavour, followed by a more pronounced grapefruit zest and pine bitterness. Medium body, delicate resinous oiliness, low carbonation. Pleasant, but more for mass conscripts than elite forces.

Med-thin body, med-light carbo. Med-light oxidation too, stalish caramelly backbone. Med bitterness, light sweetness. Med-light citrusy hops. Overall pretty simple, basic. Good, drinkable, nothing to write home about.

440ml can from Morrisons. Pours a semi-hazed gold with small white top. Aroma has a fragrant peach with sweet orange, grapefruit and pine. Taste has a surprisingly fruity burst of peach, orange and mango before showing a more grapefruit zest and pine bitterness. Medium body, mild resin oiliness, moderate carbonation. Enjoyable.

Can from Morrisons. Clear golden body with a white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and honey. Flavour of tinned oranges and pine. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This is pretty good, though a touch too sugary sweet.

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.
