GPZ West Coast IPA 🏍️💨
Introducing GPZ, our brand new West Coast IPA. You know how much we're driven by hops, and this beer is no different; featuring Dynaboost Mosaic, Cryo Mosaic, Dynaboost Simcoe, Simcoe, and Strata, we get notes of citrus, melon, berry, and light floral, coming together with exceptional balance.

Can from Slow Hand, Vancouver
Blond colour, maybe pale, certainly clean; medium sized head. Some piney hops in the aroma, but also some yeast products: gas, bread; mild dank/onion too. Dry mouthfeel, good body structure, some crisp element, some white bread favour, some Maillard results here; balanced bitterness, with gentle piney and dank notes.
Flawless, modern, clean; excellent.

175mL pour at Slow Hand. Pours murky yellow with white head. Aroma has pine and citrus. Flavour has really nice crisp pine up front, followed by citrus juice and rind, crisp malts. Finish is moderately bitter, spicy, and a bit woody. Very nice, I hope they do more West Coast beers.

Re-rate because some asshole hit my car after I picked up stuff to trade and now I’m waiting for a tow truck. Poured from the tap. Hazy blonde with small white head. Grapefruit and onion. Still not a big fan of this one. Oct 14, 2024 (6/4/6/3/11=3.0): Poured from 473mL can (Slow Hand was closed on Monday, unfortunately so couldn't try it on tap). Clear-ish yellow gold with white head. Overpoweringly oniony with feint pine backing. Unbalanced. Not a fan.

Slight haze, thin head. Pale. Spicy hop, medium pale malt, this has a slight onion note, mild cannabis, still not bad. Would prefer more malt complexity to play off the hops...some biscuity notes would light this up.

On tap at Slow Hand, pours a mostly clear bright blonde with a small white head. Aroma has moderate dankness, lots of oils, some sweatiness, and a touch of pine needles. Flavour is more vibrant, with lots of citrus hops, grapefruit rind, some pine needles that gives a bit of spiciness, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Piney, spicy, bitter finish in good balance. Very nicely done — do more of these and fewer (or none) of the hazies please!
