Another DDH West Coast IPA? Yep! When there’s just so many ways to do it, it’s hard to not keep ‘em comin’. We turned the volume up on the hops, with a bit more easy listening on the palate. A different play on the way we normally structure the bitterness on our West Coast IPAs, so that it drinks a bit lighter, but while still playing the greats of some of our favorite hop varieties, and keeping it loud on hop saturation from sniff to sip. Tasting notes? Not quite The Cranberries, but more like The Lemonheads, with a fair amount of Fruit Bats, and even some Passion Pit thrown in.

Pint can pours with a clear gold colored body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up lemon to a bit of lime and grapefruit as well as bits of berry and honeydew melon. The taste is similar with smooth hoppy notes of lemon, lime and a bit of grapefruit where the hop flavor is there in near equal levels with citrus hop bitterness. To midway it gets a tad berry like as well as some tropical melon fruitiness. This is dry and maintains pleasing flavor depth. Solid stuff.
