The pleasure of having Owner/Brewer, SAM over for MASH, we wanted to celebrate that and give him Carte Blanche and let him choose, Brujos go crazy for the hazy IPA's, but being based in Portland over on the West coast of the USA, we were buzzing when he wanted to do a WESTY.. We paired a mix of our malt bases, German Pilsner malt with a touch of malted wheat, took the water profile from Portland and paired that with a classic Simcoe & Mosaic hopping.. We changed up our usual water profile to achieve a more snappy West coast, good balance between maltiness & bitterness. Beautiful Citrus, Piney west coast, crisp as, malty backbone, crystal straw yellow appearence.

Can at Beer House, Hereford Saturday 28th February 2026 in the company of Baz, Isobel and Jude. This is a great beer but it doesn't hit the dizzy heights of the Burnt Mill - Stone and Ruins. Pours with a yellow glow, hazy, bitter, soft mouthfeel, sherbet, lemony and then resinous, pine, streaky, good stuff. Score 7.4

44cl can, canned 28/10/2025, BB 28/10/2026. Batch# 099/25.
Dorée claire, col crémeux blanc bien tenace;
Arôme sur un bouquet marqué par les houblons - dank très floral avec un parfum oscillant entre les agrumes, résine/pin, fleur de sureau et une tonne de résine qui revient en rétro-nasal. Bonne balance des malts qui arrivent en support.
Palais est sur une excellente complexité des houblons - je note un gros caractère fleuri entre un effet sureau, jasmin, camomille voire pétale de rose - pointe de barbe à papa, résine/pin avec une pointe de malt cara-pâle, pils en support. Un Simcoe et Mosaic qui brillent.

Franchement, une belle réussite et qui change de toutes ces hazies. Ici, c'est du solide en terme d'IPA typique US.
