All hops up front. Pineapple, peach and passionfruit from BRU-1 and Galaxy, with Simcoe adding some grip on the landing.
Big flavour, soft body, slam dunk

Can. Just a very light haze on this gold beer, small but tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light soft smooth pale malts, a modest creamy sweetness as you would expect from the style. A good hop combo provides bright but, slightly bitter broad spectrum fruits. Soft cooling pine into juicy bright citrus and stone fruits, a lesser tropical fruits vibe. Tiny drop of resinous opal fruits. Mild hop spice and a little savoury skunk before a crispy semi dry finish. For me, what a West Coast IPA should be all about. Fuck all that old school caramel and marmalade shit. This, for me, is where it's at. Malt sweetness backed off, hops allowed to shine and be slightly bitter and, no fucken cloudy yeast clogging everything up. I quite liked this!
