A West Coast IPA that is a perfect balance between bittering hops, tropical and dark fruit aromas and rich malt. I went to California once and found that the local West coast IPAs were a great combination of these classic foundations. This was in contrast to the people who although nice were slightly unhinged. I like West Coast IPAs as I like Californians.

24/1/2024. Can shared by Colin, cheers! Pours just about clear golden amber with a small frothy white head. Aroma is citrus, stone fruits, herbal, straw, touch piney. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, average to soft carbonation. Quite okay.

Can at home, from KWM wines Kilkeel, 01/01/24. Clear golden orange with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is astringent, hint of orange, light chemical notes, burnt rubber, straw. Taste comprises orange peel, bitter citric bite, grass, recovers a little from a poor nose, touch of melon, grass, soft malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest hop bitterness. Sub par offering in this era ... disjointed and a little flabby, was thinking an infection from the nose but the taste did pull it around somewhat.
