West Coast IPA (prev. Holey Dollar)
A true to style West Coast IPA with aromas of citrus, grapefruit and dank pine. Presenting a full mouthfeel with a sweet malt character balanced by a big hit of bitterness with dank sticky hops.

This was a Christmas present in 2024 that was drunk in January 2025.
L: A semi-hazy, copper-gold coloured beer with a fluffy, bright white head and a cavalcade of tiny bubbles bursting up the glass. While a traditional West Coast IPA would be crystal clear, this one is obviously nodding towards the 2020s, and I'm sort of ok with that...
S: The nose is big, dank citrus notes with a lighter tropical note hiding underneath.
T: Sticky, piney dankness, grapefruit, pepper and citrus all vie for the headline on this one. It's bitter, whacking me across the face with a slap from the IPAs of 15 years ago. The hop note burns on the way down, warmth sits in my chest and throat, and a numbness embraces my tongue and mouth. Loving this!
M: It's thick, almost a little chalky, but it all fits the delicious darkness of the beer like a charm. Carbonation is medium, and there are pricks of needles on the way down.
O: This is a great beer. While its haziness had me wary at the start, the flavour profile and whack of bitterness won me over. I would definitely have this one again.
Cheers!
