West Coast DIPA
For over 100 years it has been sitting behind the breakers, just north of Byron Bay's Main Beach. Mostly submerged, with some parts rising above the surface, The Wreck is an unmistakable icon, sculpting the coastal landscape. To some it's a surf break, to others a snorkelling site, a place to hone your diving skills, or a swimming adventure.
The Wreck is a BIG part of Byron Bay and we've created a BIG beer in its honour. This style originated on the West Coast of the USA and is a favourite of the craft beer industry. Made with a mixture of grains, including seldom seen quinoa, Wreck of The Bay has been infused with African pepper “Grains of Paradise”, giving a floral and spicy finish to this beer.
Triple dry-hopped offering a huge nose and pallet of citrus and ripened tropical fruits. A complex creation balanced to perfection.

Can. Clear amber with a good cm of off white head, nice lacing. Shyish tenor register citrus and pine aroma with some cooked tropical fruit, sticky bread crust, spices. Rich with plenty of caramel but none of the tiredness that often brings. Kumquat & tropical notes before gradually gripping spices and bitterness. Good.
