Imagine if hazy IPAs never made their mark on the beer world. What if, instead of the hazy DIPA we know today, Ghost in the Machine became a crystal-clear West Coast DIPA? We’ve taken everything that makes Ghost in the Machine great and reimagined it as a traditional West Coast DIPA. This version boasts a bold tropical citrus punch from the Citra hops we’ve always used in Ghost and, thanks to a longer boil and greater hot-side hopping rates, features crisp, grapefruit pith notes that balance a malty backbone. For a big DIPA, it’s still an easy-drinking beer with a dry, clean finish—a tribute to the classic IPA roots that set the stage for the hazy revolution while still capturing the bold hop character we love.

473ml can. Clear golden, big white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, grapefruit, pine. Taste of sweet malts, caramel, grapefruit, pine, resin, tangy orange, lots of marmalade, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very nice westie, it is quite jammy, but decent bitterness, even better if there was more of that bitterness I think.

Interesting label on the 16 oz can I obtained from an east coast retailer. There is a chalice glass in place for the pour, a lightly hazy gold-yellow body finished by a moderate head of icy white foam. The smell is hop-forward along with citrus, yellow fruit and grass. The drink veers from the scent, I get tropical initially, a strong showing of mangoes and pineapple, cedar, lemons, malt, orange rind and grain. Pretty tasty actually. Slightly bitter at the end too.

Rated at Ryyppyliiteri. Heavy with orange peel, citrus, grapefruit, pine, slightly resinous, grassy hoppy and herbal notes. Okay, a bit jammy.
