Californicator is all about West Coast USA and West Coast USA is all about the hops. The hops bring a firm bitterness as well as aromas of citrus, pine and apricot. A simple but full malt bill brings increased alcohol and a honey like sweetness for balance. The result is a beer that brings huge flavour and a balance that makes it very moreish.

Malts: Pale Malt and Light Crystal
Hops: Chinook, Centenial

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong resinous hops with grapefruit, malt, pine resin, some caramel. Flavour is bitter with a mild sweetness. Long bitter finish. Body is medium. Nicely resinous, could have used some more fruits for balance though.

Can from Winerack. Bought many after initial impression. Had alongside Modern Times’ Dungeon Master, another west coast IPA. Though this one is much more - much more - classic WCIPA. Ruby amber pour, clear, fine white head. Aroma is big dank pine resin bomb with tons of biscuit. I’m in. Taste follows, with a wave of pine bitterness that cuts through the intense biscuit backbone. Very straightforward but excellently done. Not too heavy somehow, with a slight citrus tingle that lightens it all up. Highly recommend. Totally classic interpretation of the style in the best way, very different from the Modern Times one
