Point the Way IPA is our ode to the hop-crazed patrons of Los Angeles. Its light malt body elevates the citrus zest, tropical and pine notes contributed by a generous hop dosing. At 5.9%, this sessionable West-Coast IPA finishes dry for optimal repeatability.

DIFFERENCE FROM ORIGINAL RECIPE:
To balance these aggressive hop profiles we’ve switched to English specialty malts, which produce a lighter hue and replace the caramel notes with a very slight toast. These changes will bump the ABV from 5.2% to 5.9%, maintaining Point the Way's low-ABV status while optimizing hop flavor and complexity.

Can. So, I'll say it again. What we have here is yet another IPA. I think my tongue must have hop burn out because they all taste the same to me.

Tap at LAX. Slightly hazy orange gold pour with minimal white head. Aroma is mild orange peel hops, not much there. Taste is very bitter but not much flavor. Hops are citric sort of, malt is bready like crisp Scandinavian rye cracker. Decent but quite bland.

On tap at LAX. Foggy deep golden with a thin creamy off white head. Lots of pine and citrus in the aroma but the flavors are more muted and mellow. Not bad. Light papery malt trailer

Can at MC Zurich. Pours hazy amber. Aroma is strong tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, light onion. Body is strong, sweet and quite bitter, but there is not much residual sweetness left. Lively carbonation, but not many flavours, except onion and tropical fruit. Sweet fruity palate. Quite a letdown after this delicious nose!
