Eine mit speziellem Pale Ale Malz sowie ausgesuchten Aromahopfen aus dem Yakima Valley von der amerikanischen West Coast nur einmalig gebraute Bierspezialität. Die obergärige Alehefe Tropicus verbunden mit einer aufwändigen Kalthopfung sorgen für eine intensiv fruchtige Aromenvielfalt.

"Bierwerkstatt Veldensteiner West Coast IPA", Flasche von Getränke Hoffmann, Berlin, 8.2.2025. - Hellgoldbraun, trüb. - In der Nase nur milde, weich zitrusfruchtige IPA-Hopfung, Limone, karamelliges Malz, obergärige Hefe, etwas rustikal aber dennoch ansprechend. - Antrunk weich brotig-karamelmalzig mit prominenter Malzsüße und milder exotischer Hopfung mit weicher Zitrone und matten Anklängen an tropische Frucht. Milder rezent, vollmundig; auch der höhere Alkoholgehalt bleibt nicht völlig unbemerkt. Im Abgang ausreichend bittere aber etwas stumpfe zitrusfruchtige Hopfung; Anklänge an Seifenwasser, schwach ranzige Noten. - Harmlos und gefällig gehopfter IPA-Versuch aus Oberfranken, etwas unrund und unfrisch; nicht sehr überzeugend.

Dorada nebulosa de espuma blanca de buena retención. Aroma más ácido que lupulado. En boca es bastante redonda al paladar, ligeramente oleosa y muy bien de gas. Sabor lejos del que cabe esperar para una “west coast”, pero no esta mal. Más caracter lupulado que en el aroma, entre floral y frutal y manteniendo un punto de acidez. Curiosa.

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Fine fruity hoppy aroma. Starts mild, fresh hoppy, fine fruity hints of lemon, some apricot. Mild sweetness. Shy cinnamon. Finish well balanced, again fresh hoppy. Quite drinkable. Nice one!

500ml bottle. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grassy and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, minimally strawy, pale malty background, hints of pineapple, lemon, some mirabelle, husky overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, husky, pale malty and moderately bitter, citrusy and tropical fruity hoppy, hints of pineapple, mirabelle, some lemon, a touch of protein.
Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Mild, a bit rural, pretty far away from a West Coast IPA, but somehow a nicely hopped Zwickel Ale (if that would exist) - enjoyable.

0,5 l swing top bottle from a local Hol´Ab! market. BB 25.12.26. Cloudy yellow golden with a more than one finger white foamy head. Citrus fruity aroma, some grape in the background. Taste is more on the grape side, citrus in the second row, pale grainy. Light. Increasing mid bitterness. Dry malty in the aftertaste. Little bit above average carbonated.
