Gluten Free West coast IPA.
This gluten-free IPA delivers everything you want from the style – bright citrus, firm bitterness, and a crisp finish. Brewed with Nelson Sauvin, El Dorado, and a touch of Amarillo in the whirlpool, it leans into marmalade and bitter orange with soft floral undertones. Balanced, drinkable, and unmistakably West Coast.

On tap at the Underdog, Dublin on 16th July 2025. Clear, active golden amber with shallow yet dense whitish foam and full lacing. Balanced fruitiness in aroma. Zesty citrus peel, fine grapey fruits and muted spices in-mouth. A fresh fruity finish. Medium bodied with an engaging texture.

330ml can at home. Clear gold with a bubbly white head. Fruity hop aroma, taste is packed with orange and lime citrus flavours. A little thin, perhaps, but otherwise great

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Thin malts, but fairly sweet. For a light beer, the hop spice is fairly ferocious, immediately starts to nibble, gets stronger and ultimately provides a mild burn. Light cooling pine, fairly thin citrus. A light and semi dry finish. A little odd. How do you get thin hop flavours but abundant hop spice? Don't know! But this brew delivers that dichotomy!

Can at home picked up from HOTM. A mostly clear bright golden coloured pour with a sticky white head. Aroma is semi sweet, fragrant pine, grass, toffee notes, light liquorice. Flavour is composed of crisp, rustic bready grains, piney grassy hops, light fennel, light chalk. Palate is crisp, little thin, chalky finish. Not bad.
