As craft beer pioneers, we embarked on an expedition to brew the benchmark West Coast IPA. We ventured into the unknown and struck gold, discovering a tantalizing menagerie of hops. Simcoe for tropical and grapefruit zest, Columbus for hop pungency, Centennial for pine notes, Citra for citrus zest, and Cascade for floral aroma are layered throughout the brewing process. West Coast IPA exemplifies the Green Flash spirit of adventure and discovery.

Tap at CBM Koenji. Caramel, light hoppiness. Aroma is more hoppy, grass and grapefruit, and it's there in the taste but subdued. Nice.

Bottle. Amber with a cream head that fades to a cm. Aroma of bread crust, grapefruit, kumquat, some tropical fruit, pine. Pretty much how it tastes - firm bread crust, mostly citrus and pine aromatics, strong bitterness. Clean and straightforward. Didn't realise this was a new beer nor attempt to decipher the date code but it's pretty good although nearly a year old.

Clear dark yellow with white head. Citrus and tropical floral aroma, smelled like jacaranda. Citrus hoppy taste with a big body. This now a double IPA.
