West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with our friends at Everywhere Beer from the city of Orange in Southern California. We selected a blend of light pilsner malts, a clean fermentation, and a carefully harmonized bitterness as the jumping off point for some seriously fun new age hop expression. You know, the “Stuffs”. And a lot of it! Nelson, Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy and Waimea work together to crank out gobs of pink guava, mango, white peach, pineapple and sticky flower drenched in melted orange creamsicles. We were careful to leave as much of that oily hop goodness behind as we could, which resulted in a somewhat rustic appearance. But don’t let that fool you, this is a light bodied, dry finish’in, good time of a westy all the way.

Aroma is a bit muted with nice tropical fruits a bit of darkness definitely some passion fruit and papaya. Labor is light sweet light bitter no burn at all nice juiciness. Medium body you know I would call this an old school New England IPA before they went overboard

Poured from a 16 oz can with an illegible date. Aroma is hop forward and very fruity with lots of mango, lychee, passion fruit, stone fruit and melon with lighter citrus and berry notes. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a fairly hazy, somewhat dull, golden orange color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Fairly high amount of lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Quite a bit of fruity hop notes with lots of melon, passion fruit, mango and lighter citrus, berry and stone fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA albeit not much of a West Coast one. This comes across as a typical hazy to me with lots of fruity hop notes, a not particularly high bitterness and a fairly light malt profile.
