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.
