We’ve brewed up a duo of West Coast IPAs with our friends at Brew York; firstly, we visited them to brew ‘Thorny Eagle’, which was followed by a great evening in York, later described as ‘some Friday, that’! This westie opens with a tantalising bouquet of grapefruit and mango, followed by lemon and stone fruit across the palate. The mouthfeel is well rounded with a classic bitter west coast finish.

Tall can from Winerack at home. Clear amber pour with white frog eyed head. Aroma is classic west coast pine and biscuit and grapefruit. Taste is similar - classic WCIPA. Quite biscuity. Very bitter with pine more than resin. Some grapefruit. Palate is smooth. Finish is lasting bitter. Very good straightforward west coast flavors.

Can, medium stable bubbly head with lots of lacing, clear dark orange to brown colour, lots of citrus and bready maltiness, medium herbal bitterness. Nice, a bit simple.
