WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN ?
As the legendary Vinnie recently put it, “there is an assault on bitterness”, and a beer lacking in bitterness lacks a backbone. Love it to Death is our ode to the double West Coast IPAs of the good old days, both the infamous and the forgotten. Praised for their ability to showcase the intense flavors and aromas of hops without overwhelming the palate, and maintaining complexity and drinkability by balancing high levels of both bitterness and alcohol.
The use of frozen fresh Cryo Simcoe from Yakima Chief Hops amplifies those grapefruit, pine, and pungent dank notes quintessential for the style.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THOUGH
Pale Ale base with Vienna and range of caramel malts. Heavily hopped with Ekuanot, Columbus, Amarillo, and Simcoe at all stages of the brew from mash to dry hop.
Golden amber in color, bright and clear. Clean and dry finish with a lingering hop bitterness and a robust malt profile to round it out. An intense and complex hop bouquet with vibrant grapefruit and citrus, resinous pine and some floral notes.

De tercertiempocervezas. En copa shaker. En Altos del Rompido. Preparando examen A2 de Alcalá de Guadaira. Auténtico perfil West coast ejecutado deanera excelente, con amargor notorio pero para nada excesivo, resultando incluso de trago fácil y rápido que hace que se quede corta en un santiamén.

Pours a semi clear amber with fluffy, soapy head.
Smell is fruity with a nice malt base. Notes of orange, pine, grapefruit, caramel, peach and tea.
Taste is fruity and intense with a strong punch of bitterness. Notes of pine, grapefruit, citrus peel, caramel and tea. Very hoppy with some warming booze on the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium to full, chewy, smooth and well carbonated.
Overall, a fantastic west coast DIPA, powerful but not over the top.
