We went big on the hops here with lots of Simcoe, Chinook and Columbus for a classic take on the West Coast IPA style. We went big on bitterness too, to balance out the malt body. Brewed in collaboration with West St Alehouse.

Creamy white head on a murky amber coloured body. Boiled sweets, stone fruit & malt aroma. Medium bodied, lively with a dry back. Stone fruit, resinous, stewed fruits, marmalade & malt tastes with a bitterly hopped finish but some weird cleaning agent aftertaste......

Tap at 73 Enid Street. A clear bright golden yellow coloured pour with a a lasting sticky white head. Aroma is nice big weedy dank hop hockey puck, plastic chive. Clean base malts on the nose. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded, clean base malts, slightly nutty, dank pine, some weed, hop resin, spicy finish. Palate is semi sweet, resinous hop, to slightly crisp finiah, fine moderate carbonation, really well put together beer. Old school West Coast vibes, with modern twist.
