It’s like this, and like that, and like this, and uh - West Coast Burner is just as bold and citrusy as our flagship American IPA with an extra kick of grapefruit, pine, and an even more bitter yet clean finish. Have one, then just chill, ‘til the next episode.

Thin, frothy mouthfeel. Juicy Mosaic hops. I'm not a fan of this. Not what I consider a "West Coast-style" IPA to be, as claimed on the label. There is a nice bitter bite at the end that keeps it from devolving into citrus soda territory. Overall, disappointing. I am not looking forward to drinking the remaining 5 cans.

Can purchased and drank at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a fairly clean looking dark orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like pine, melon, marijuana, orange peel, and grapefruit.

I really love Hayburner, and there’s been a number of interesting variants on it, but this is the first variant that I might actually improve upon the original. It’s got a really resinous but clean bitterness to it – grapefruit pith and zesty pine, with melon, grapefruit, and orange. There’s very little maltiness here.

This is medium bodied, crisp, clean, and really drinkable.

This is one of the best West Coast style IPAs I’ve had made locally – it was really, really tasty.
