Brewed with extra hops and malt in the English tradition, but with West Coast style. This deep golden India Pale Ale is artfully balanced with a fresh, powerful aroma and a luscious finish.

0.355l can from Beer Republic. Aroma is citrusy, piney, ripe tropical fruity and resinous. Pours cloudy dark golden color with large soapy off-white head and sparkling
appearance. Taste starts medium sweet toasted malty and and resinous, following is herbal, mild fruity and piney,
mouthfeel is smooth but rather dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Best from the west…

12 fl. oz. can from the Beer Republic advent calendar. Fat golden in the glass, small one finger white head. Tropical fruity aroma, citrus direction. Taste starts dry bitter hoppy, a lot of grape, less citrus. Pale malt, some pine. Long lasting bitterness in the aftertaste. More a summer sip in my opinion.

Can as part of Loz's Beer Republic webshop Adventbierkalender, consumed at home Friday 22nd December 2023 listening to Dream Wife - Social Lubrication about to cook Conchiglioni with Smoked Salmon and a Tomato Sauce. Pours hazy mid amber with a large white head. Classic IPA, actually classic West Coast IPA. Nice furry bitterness, rubs around gums and tongues, nice maltiness, piney resinous burst this is a great example of the style.
