Big Westie in this case refers to West Coast IPA. It's packed full of Centennial, Chinook & Citra hops, so fetch a glass....

Can from Against The Grain. Clear deep golden body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and grapefruit. Flavour of orange peel and menthol. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A solid IPA - bold and bitter. I hope to see more higher ABV beer from Pilot; the last few I remember have all been under 6% ABV.
