The West Coast IPA is a modern classic that changed perceptions of what beer could be, and paved the way for today's craft beer scene. Our own approach is informed by experiences working with trailblazing brewers and diving deep into their celebrated beers, so this delivers the hallmark layered bitterness and a clean, dry, resinous finish alongside punchy flavours provided by a blend of modern and classic hop varietals.

Can from Explosivedog, thanks: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is grapefruit, some bubblegum, some flowers. Taste is lightly bitter, fruity, not very juicy. Not a full on west coast but still refreshing in a world of haze.
