A West Coast IPA hopped with Simcoe, Centennial and Chinook for a bitter citrus medley of mandarin, lemon and grapefruit. Whole juniper berries accentuate the natural bitterness and piney side of this IPA. Deliciously drinkable thanks to a dry and bittersweet finish.

Can online from Cork & Cask, Edinburgh. Pours almost clear pale.gold with a white foam. Aroma: fruity, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon. Taste: Light to moderate sweet & moderate bitter, towards dry, citrus pith/zest, pine. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Bit tame for a WCIPA but the ABV might be to blame. Needs more boost.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Clear golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon and papery malt. Flavour of pine and lemon. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A solid west coast IPA but the it doesnβt have the zip of my favourites.

Keg at Shilling Brewing Co. It pours crystal clear pale.gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, peppery juniper, rather fruity, sweet, zingy candied lemon, grapefruit, tangelo, tangerine, lemonade and candy. The taste is crispy, dry, quite clean, bitterness is there but mellow initially then builds, touch green, weedy, hint of pine needles, juniper, pithy, zesty, candied lemon, lemonade and waxy grapefruit with a pithy finish. Light body and average carbonation. A fine this a bit subdued, weak even. Expected a bit more.
