ABV: 8.5%

Ticks: 34

Worship at the altar of this classic West Coast IPA. Punchy and aggressive it puts American hops where they should be - front and centre. A deft touch of caramel and toast runs alongside massive hop aromas of pine, mango, grapefruit and lychee and a bitter finale.

On tap at Horvati Zagreb. Darker golden coloured, medium sized white head, some caramel and alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, notes of honey, light fruity and grassy but unfortunately not so fresh. Some alcohol in the finish.

CAN. Sötét pisi színe van mint egy jobb fajta cseh dvanatckanak. Visszafogott citrosossag, kesernyésség. Ahogy szellőzik egyre jobb lesz. Good vintage. Nice. Utoize tovább is tarthatna, de sebaj.

(Keg at BrewDog Helsinki, 20181113) The beer poured deep amber and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pine, grass and lightly alcohol. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, pine, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A pleasant and clean hoppy brew without any gimmicks.

330ml can via fanzine club. Pours hazy golden amber, good off-white topping. Resin and pine on the nose. Good west coast character, prominent pine, resin, caramel with a curious sweet apricot / peach side. Firm bitterness. Brewdog have made better examples of the style, but this was decent.
