Celebrating the most iconic beer style to emerge from the Great American West, Ferment Bright West IPA loads Chinook, Mosaic, and a special harvest of Cascade hops into a brew of pilsen malt from Colorado. Bright West is then filtered to the brilliance of a perfect Pacific Sunset. The result is a quite dry bright golden ale supporting a thick head of foam, rich with the pine and citrus best enjoyed with good friends and an adventurous spirit.

On tap at Ferment, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright pine, oily resins, and biscuity malt. Flavour is super bright, with lots of oily piney hops, woody resins, and crisp biscuity malt. Bright pine and woody resins on the finish. Excellent westie.

Taster flight at Ferment. Clear, medium golden pour, thin, tight foamy head. Fruity aroma, candy, faint pine. ight dryness.Taste is mildly sweet, fruity, some piney hops slipping in at the back. With the hops comes some dryness. A chameleon of a beer.
