Our tribute to this iconic beer style. Intense piney and citrusy hop notes, bright passion fruit and pineapple aroma coming from our favorite New World hops. Close your eyes and California is suddenly a little closer.

opalescent pale golden colour, moderate sized ecru-ish white head; aroma of orange, some grapefruit, resiny and (tropical) fruity notes; hoppy bittery taste with similar notes to the aroma, some grassy and green herbal notes; not bad

[as Broken City West Coast Ipa, ABV 6.4%] Lattina. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi, pompelmo, arancia amara e ananas.

Clear golden pour, small head. Aroma is hoppy. Flavour is malty, not very sweet, rather bitter. Pine and just a tad of fruit. Not bad but a bit boring.

Draft @ CBFZ 2017. Hazy gold, white head. Aroma and taste is very fruity and juicy. Pineapple, grapefruit, dank. Good.

Tap at CBFZ 2017. Pours cloudy amber. Aroma is super citric, green, soapy. Body is lightish, green, bitter, barely any malt backbone. Lively carbonation but no sweetness. Dry palate. Not sure where the malts and the retronasal flavours went in this beer. Apparently only into alcohol and nothing else?
