Continuing the theme of the “old-school westie”, now in Double IPA form. Loads of caramel malts, red malts and rich base malts. The bitterness has been pushed further than we have ever gone, 160 IBU. Dry-hopped with a massive addition of Citra Cryo and Strata at a rate of 30g/L.

Sample courtesy of Cheeseboard, cheers Simon! Coppery amber gold colour, thin white foam head and aroma of caramel, grapefruit, peppery hops. Taste is malt caramel, tropical fruit, grapefruity citric, pine, with resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying tangy hoppy bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a little unsweet caramel and thin cream. Crisp light pine. Bright citrus peel, juicy, tangerine and a little blood orange. Light semi dry finish. Good west coaster.
