Bear State is a classic IPA brewed in the spirit of the West Coast of the USA. This is a massively hoppy beer, balanced perfectly with a touch of malt sweetness and an intensely citrus hop character to finish.

On tap @Buskers Pub (Rome). Pours hazy golden with a medium and persistent white foam. Aroma is hoppy, grapefruit, citrus, pine, malt, bubblegum, so so. Flavour has a medium malt profile, light sweet, bubblegum again, medium bitter in the end. Medium body, light carbonation. Not a great west coast IPA... not at all.

Bottle 500ml (Beer Hunters). Golden color, slightly hayish, decent white head, lace. Dry grassy and oily aroma. Medium-bodied. Resin, some citrus, reasonably long aftertaste. Unfortunately quite simple and not very westcoastish. Dissapointment from Thornbridge.

Draught @Kittyโs as Bear State. Light amber colored with a thick white head. Pine hits u first, some pineapple, citrus as well. Ok aroma. Flavor has gooseberries, blood orange, grapefruit. I like this one as it is so dry and crisp, no sweetness. Bitter, hoppy finish. Bit thin for 7 %.

My 100th IPA obviously. Hazy golden color with big white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, grapefruits, lots of hops. Taste is sweet hops, not much body, but super drinkable! Bitterness is rather low.

From 50cl bottle (as "Bear State") at Haandbryggeriet Beer Festival. Pours clear golden with a white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with moderate pine, some citrus, pale malt and hints of herbs and caramel. Medium sweet with nice hoppy flavours and a balanced bitterness. Tasty and easy to drink. Nice one!
