This West Coast IPA offers a classic and assertive sensory experience, emphasizing a bold American hop profile. The aromatics lead with intense notes of resinous pine and bright citrus zest, underpinned by a clean, lean malt backbone. With its 6.4% ABV, the beer provides a subtle, well-integrated warmth that enhances the crisp, dry finish characteristic of the style. The bitterness is firm and snappy, designed to cleanse the palate while leaving a lingering trail of grapefruit and floral hop oils. This American IPA prioritizes clarity and a refreshing, hop-forward balance that defines the modern West Coast tradition.
