WEST COAST IPA • 7.2%
D.O.P.E. is a Dank Overpowering Pale Elixer, brewed as a modern West Coast IPA, with some of the grunge, that got lost in the sauce of the big tropical fruit forward hop varietals that dominate the IPA scene today. Hopped hot side with Columbus, Simcoe, and Columbus Cryo - we laid down a potent base for a double dry hop of even more pungent and stimulating hops. Post fermentation, we burned one down, then dumped in copious bags of Mosaic, Comet, & Nelson + more Mosaic, Columbus, and Nelson (of the cryo variety). The resultant beer reeks of dank blueberry, Sauvignon Blanc skins, grapefruit zest, and the Dopesmoker album by SLEEP.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold colored body that supports a nice full off white head of foam. The aroma offers up various citrus hop goodness such as grapefruit, tangelo and orange marmalade heading into a thin white grape character. The taste delivers similar notes that are clean and crisp and rewarding. I get a nice depth that includes grapefruit, tangelo, a bit of orange marmalade and then a sense of white grape. This is clean and crisp yet includes plenty of depth to keep me happy.

Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light tropical fruit flavor with light dankness. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and light summer fruit linger with light dankness and light earth.
