Our newest West Coast IPA to come off the line is Santako. We've based this on one of our recent WCIPA's, Plasticity, but have replaced the Cascade portion of the dry hop with Amarillo to push the orangey citrus character further. Combined with Citra, Simcoe and Columbus the aroma immediately presents plenty of dank pine resin, marijuana, orange and grapefruit zest and some slight peachiness. The initial taste follows with more citrus and a little kiss of sweetness before finishing with a dry and firm bitterness that does't overstep the mark. The body is on the leaner, drier side yet with the little addition of a very light caramel malt, a slight sweet touch blends with the bitter finish to give some of that sticky, oily, resinous character that we love in West Coast IPA. This is a west coast IPA designed with drinkibility in mind and what's more it's even celiac-friendly.

Can at DeRat, Utrecht, Netherlands, Monday 18th October 2021. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Pineapple cubes on the nose, sweet, juicy, a West Coast IPA???? don't get me wrong, this is a nice beer but it's not a Westy??

Can from Hopduvel. Hazy orange, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of frying onion, ripe mango, orange peel, pine, grapefruit juice. Taste has sweetish mango, orange & pear, bitter pine & grapefruit peel, bit citric over biscuity maltiness with low dank onion. Resinous, piney hoppy finish, mostly grapefruit but toned down a bit by orange & mango hints. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Straight, clean, classic IPA, very welcome these days too.
