While we enjoy the Haze Craze, we still love us a good, bitter, dry, West Coast IPA. Germany doesn’t exactly have a proper West Coast, so we looked for the westernmost point in Germany…this point on the Dutch border is marked by a border stone (German: Grenzstein) bearing the number 309B.
You can’t be further West in Germany, and it’s hard to get a more West Coast IPA than this: 7.0%, 65-70 IBU. A ton of old school Cascade, plus dashes of Citra (whirlpool) as well as Amarillo and Ekuanot (dry hop) to give a light refreshing frutiness.
We’re really excited about this one!

On a flight in Berlin, 15th May 2023, Ostkreuz. White head on a clear golden pour. Piney nose and initial taste, some light fruity notes then arrive alongside the malty base. Decent!

Fruity floral beginning. Lots of pine and resin, fruity body. Easy to drink, grainy with a moderate bitterness in the end. Lots of floral hops, refreshing with a nice intense floral fruity finish. Nice.
