Do you feel like a boss?! You will when you crack open our flagship San Diego IPA, Boss Pour. A softer bitterness, and the use of super aromatic hops sets apart the San Diego style from the typical West Coast versions. In this example, waves of Pacific Northwest hops are supported by American 2-row and copious amounts of English specialty base malts. Bright tropical and citrus fruits with a touch of dank hop character are the ones in charge here, and will surely be good for the end of your daily grind. So step on up, and be a Boss. Cascade, Simcoe, Nugget, Citra and Mosaic hops.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a cloudy bright golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hop oils, some astringent pine cone, and citrus rind. Flavour is bright and bitter, with citrus hops, bitter pine, and tropical fruits. Bursts of tropical pithy fruity and piney hops on the finish. Seriously, this is a fantastic west coast IPA.

Can. Slightly hazy gold with a modest white head that fades. Aroma of citrus and tropical fruit (pineapple, tinned mandarin, herbal lemon, some wine gums) some pine, light bread. 7+ Lovely texture - barely medium bodied, clean but slightly creamy, dry with an aromatic bitter finish: is as promised. There's not a whole lot of malt presence but what there is has pleasing hints of richness. Good.

Pours rather unclear blonde. Smell is pine, fresh. Taste is sharp, pine, bitter malty, intense. Refreshing. Very nice. Milder fruity notes. Typical Westcoast style, with a bit more haze.
