San Diego Style IPA
With enough bittering hops to break the kettle, Focal Shift has a pronounced upfront bitterness rounded out with a juicy, melon finish leaving your pallet refreshed and ready for the next sip.

Can. Slight haze, pale amber. Thin head. Quite piney on the nose, with a lot of sticky malt under there. The palate has a lot of malt, too. But it's not overdose level. Lots of chewiness both malt and hop, and a bit of alcohol in the finish to burly this brew up a bit. Arguably, to me at least, this isn't nearly as chewy as the SD stuff and is more like the PNW stuff from 10-15 years ago. But whichever, it's a nice little West Coast IPA.
