It’s a classic West Coaster with all U.S. hops; powerful pine and grapefruit aromas pour forth from the glass, then the assertive hop bite leaps on to the palate along with flavours of tangerine and lemon. The robust malt keeps it in balance, leading to a long, bitter finish.

440ml can from Asda. Clear dark gold with foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, funk, pine. There is a very nice balance to this, mid-sweet, mid-bitter with notes of malt, tangerine, grapefruit, pine, mild medicinal notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Good.

Clear copper with a white head. Big grapefruit, pine, citrus notes along with toasted malt. Medium bodied. Finish has plenty of dry bitterness. A true WCIPA and a well-brewed one, too.
