It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Bottle: Poured a light golden color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus notes with light sweet malt base is pretty nice. Taste is also a good mix of citrus oriented hops with light residual sugar and dry malt backbone. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nice old school IIPA with nice Cascade notes.

Many thanks to Chris for bringing it over. Nice golden colour. The nose is fresh and intense floral. Smooth and fresh beginning. Very smooth with a nice but intense hop bitterness in the end. Round and fresh, smooth with bitter nice aroma. Not too floral, but fresh and easy to drink though. Great beer with a slightly sweetish body which fits in great!
