A collaboration with our mates Cloudwater Brew Co as part of their 2021 Indie Retailer Spotlight. We decided to brew a big West Coast DIPA but with our double dry hopping rate. Hopped throughout with Centennial & Idaho 7.

Can. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. A thin malt base, still delivering a reasonable, but very thin, creamy malt base. Thin though, was that mentioned. Thin! Crisp pine. Bright crisp citric peel, mostly orange but with a little grapefruit. Crisp finish. This brewery promised west coast and delivered it with aplomb. I'm just done with this dead end style.

Foamy white head left a large frothy cover on a hazy, vivid amber coloured still body. Pine, resin & malt aroma. Medium to full, smooth & tingly on the back. Pithy, resinous, marmalade, grapefruit & malt tastes with an extremely long bitter finish. Palate Wrecker!
