Here at the LHG brewpub, we love the classics and are particularly fond of the West Coast style. Bold and crisp with high drinkability. This classic West Coast IPA opens with aromas of sticky pine, mango and orange flesh, laying the path for waves of resinous hop character on the palate. A firm but satisfying bitterness rounds the beer off, inviting you in for the next sip.

Can from Etre Gourmet webshop Grez-Doiceau, Belgium. Listening to Ezra Furman standing in for Marc Riley on 6 Music and cooking Fish Pie, Monday 20th December 2021. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Okay this is a step up, lovely crushing bitterness, resinous, orange, a little pithy, dryness, furry rasps across the tongue, malt profile is subtle. Great.

440ml Can Sophie's Beer Store. Clear gold appearance, large frothy white head. Citrus nose. Taste of fruity floral citrus, expected more of a piney presence and I must admit I do yearn for those days where high bitterness piney west coast IPAs were the norm. But hey ho. This is fine, just feels a bit deflated.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 29/04/21. Clear golden to light amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is orange zest, grass, pine dusting, grapefruit, crisp malts. Taste comprises orange peel, light pine needle, grapefruit, bitter sweet malts, melon, mixed tropicana, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly aggressive juicy come grassy hop bitterness. Solid clean drinking IPA with an old skool vibe ... pulls off the west coast genre well.
