A full-bodied and full-flavoured India Pale Ale - in the West Coast style. Assertive but balanced hop bitterness complements the malt backbone.
Aromas are forthright, coming from the big dry-hopping with Columbus, Ahtanum, Azacca and Ekuanot.

Can picked up from Tesco or Morrisons in the UK,I thi think 🤔, had this at home Sunday 26th October 2025 after a short walk up to the pub Gasthof zum Sonnewald, Schofweg, listening to Bon Iver - SABLE, fABLE. Pours light amber, hazy with a small/mid sized white head, however the head didn't last long and this is my only real criticism, the carbonation could be a bit more, it lacks a little. Piney and with some citrus touches, notably grapefruit. Bitterness is about right for a Westy, malty backbone taste is good but just wish it could be a little bit more of everything, perhaps I am being too critical, it's decent.

Golden to orange in colour. Aroma of grass and chalk with a little orchard fruit. Flavour is similar. There's a dry feel but with a little bitterness too.
