Score

7.12

ABV: 7.0%

IBU: -

Ticks: 4

This beer is a tribute and transportation to the hop growing valleys of the PNW and showcases the best of the best from that region. A heavily hopped and delicate West Coast-style IPA with a blend of Oregon-grown Strata, as well as Washington-grown Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. We get layers of ruby red grapefruit and blood orange in both the flavor and aroma, as well as a resounding dank and sweet fruit note that carries through from start to finish. Pacific Portal won the Silver Medal in West Coast IPA at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival.

Sample at the roost pours a clear gold with some cloudy white head. Really good nose. Malt and grass, nice jasmine and minty. Flavor is simple grist, jasmine and herbs and dried grasses. New world hops. Simple. Medium bodied.
