Wicked Willy’s West Coast IPA
Fat Head's Brewery & Saloon

 

 

 

CANNED ON 12/16/25. Poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.

A: Slightly hazy gold with 1-2 finger frothy white head with good retention and solid lacing.

S: Aroma is light with mostly dank herbal weed notes on and generic orange/grapefruit citrus fruit background.

T: Flavor is solid and classic WCIPA but straightforward with grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon notes followed by honeysuckle and grassy, weed character. Mild fruity esters and some sweeter alcohol as well. Bitterness is medium-minus intensity.

M: Good mouthfeel with medium body and dry finish.

O: Wicked Willy’s IPA is a solid but unspectacular WCIPA. It’s probably the worst Fat Head’s beer I’ve had - even so, it’s still pretty good.

 

 

 

 

12oz can, wrap label. Stamp on lower lip with canning info is rubbed and unreadable.
Partly cloudy, straw colored body. Two fingers of white head persists. Leaves behind small webs and short strings of lacing.
Aroma of classic orange citrus orange, pineapple, and a background of bitter pine resin.
Taste is bright and sweet. Flavors are lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, grassy, and pine resin. Mostly fruity but dense bitterness at the end of each sip. Bitterness is not distorting but rather works with the sweetness to create a real and full balance point.
Medium mouthfeel. 7%ABV% is well hidden (more soft and sweet). Real hops takeover at the end - brisk and bracing. Excellent carbonation.

L: Pours a straw yellow with large white head and nice patches of lacing on the glass.

S: Beautiful pineapple, orange, lemon, mango and some other tropical fruits greet the nose, not a lot of bitterness and a strong sweetness.

T: Sweet tropical fruit, fresh orange and pineapple balanced out by some grapefruit rind and a hint of lemon, not the most bitter but a very enjoyable taste

F: Medium body, smooth carbonation

O: I like this IPA quite about it's sweet but has enough balance to make it enjoyable

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12oz can poured into a SA perfect pint

A- pours a clear golden color with a one-finger foamy and pillowy head that has great retention and leaves some lacing behind

S- zest grapefruit up front, followed by pineapple, green melon, guava, grass and a hint of underlying bready malt

T- bright and zesty grapefruit is immediately followed by juicy pineapple and guava, with some ripe green melon undertones. The finish gives more tropical hops into a clean, fruity linger

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns slightly creamy into a crisp finish

Found on tap at The Craft Bar in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
Slightly hazy golden beer with a great, fluffy, white head. This is definitely a West Coast IPA. The flavors and aromas are dominated by grapefruit and pine, with a hint of malt. It has very sharp, assertive bitterness. The hops seem fresh, but in the finish they give an astringent, pith-like character. West Coast IPA lovers will dig this one.
