The little brother to our old favourite Spokane, this West Coast IPA uses Columbus and Simcoe hops for a hefty whack of authentic American IPA flavour at session strength.

Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, peaches, pineapple, tropcial fruit, crackers and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Highly drinkable. Hoppy and refreshing. Nice one.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 3rd July 2026. Hazy gold with shallow, dull foam and full lacing. Zesty grapefruit aroma with a touch of soapiness. Spiced citrus in-mouth and a finish of citrus grapefruit with peppery spices. Light body and a zingy mouthfeel.

Hand pulled pint in the Craven Arms, Birmingham on 30th June 2026. Clean and clear golden/amber body, white crown on top. Nice feel to this, fruity and hoppy with a decent balance from the malt content. Easy going beer all round.

Handpull cask at the Oxford Road Tap. Mid-gold and clear with a good-sized off-white head. Light malty aroma, some orange and stone fruit, a little astringency. Sweet taste, luscious balance with a hoppy bitterness at the end filling the mouth. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Well done.
