The Hopopotamus is a friendly hop loving beast. Everytime we take inventories there is always bags of hops missing, and we know whom to blame… To please that beast we have dedicated our latest beer, a New-School West Coast IPA, to it.

West Coast IPAs are the hop-driven beers that powered the launch of the American craft beer industry, often brewed with the classic “3C” hops: Cascade, Columbus and Centennial. Beer styles are always evolving and this New School West Coast IPA is both flirting with the classic and the present contemporary hops. Displaying a bright and balanced bitterness with classic mid-palate grapefruit-pine character from the 3C, and with tropical yet crisp fruity flavours from Mosaic hops.

(Can, Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 8 Sep 2023) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of lemon peel, grapefruit and biscuits. Fruity, hoppy taste with grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, biscuits, pine needles, grass and a balanced citric/piney bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.
