West Coast DIPA. After years of worshipping at the church of haze, this brew is a tribute to the original piney, hazeless, bitter Double IPAs that kicked off the trend. Straight up barley base and 120 IBU, so plenty of bitterness. Dry-hopped with Simcoe and Centennial at 30g/L

On tap at Kill the Cat, Spitalfields Market, London. A straw coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange, grapefruit, pine taste/aroma. Really enjoyable and not bitter at all for a west coast DIPA. Good and very expensive stuff from Baron.

Can from Utobeer, Borough Market. Clear golden orange pour with a white head. Piney, citrusy nose, touch of white grape & gooseberry jam. Smooth flavours of the above. Light boizy mouthfeel. Heavy hoppy finish.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Pretty much a clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, sweet enough, not much of that pillowy creamy sweetness you get in so many DIPAs these days. Light cooling pine. It's a West Coaster, so expecting citrus peel and finding it in spades, not that bitter though. Brighter citrus also here, juicy too. Centennial, not quite a classic presentation but still makes it's presence felt with piney soft tangerine and a whiff of ripe lemon. For a West Coaster, pretty good but failing to deliver any real bitterness.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 12/08/24. Clear golden with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is crisp malts, grass, bitter orange, pine needle, old skool waftings. Taste comprises bitter orange, grapefruit zest, pine needle, grass, citric tinged straw, sticky tropical fruits, ripe melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come lightly resinous hop bitterness. Tidy old skool WC DIPA ... would have liked it just a touch less sweet.
