We are shovin’ into overdrive with a delicious new small batch westy! Danger Zone harkens back to the good ole days of West Coast IPAs, beers that sting you with a hop punch.
In terms of fancy big, boozy, bitter tech, this beer showcases hop hash quite heavily. Hop hash is a highly concentrated form of Lupulin (the acids and oils that drive flavor and aroma) that is captured during the processing of hops. In our case we used Centennial and Azacca hop hash to drive up the pine and citrus and then we finished with a huge dry hop of Azacca, Centennial, and Pacific Jade to double down on the dank and a bit of tropical flare!

Bright copper with a thin head. Sweet…a little butterscotch, hops are restrained and that’s why the malts are so pronounced. Alcohol sneaks into the finish, but less boozy than I’d expect. Probably could do with more bitterness, though.
