We've really enjoyed our return to having a series of West Coast Pales and IPAs coming out of the brewery. This time, we've given it the DDH treatment, a classic hop bill of Mosaic and Centennial to hark back to the West Coast beers that inspired us.
This time however, we've used a lager yeast strain to balance the resinous finish with a crisp edge. The result is like drinking liquid boiled sweets, marmalade and orange peel with a dry and clean ending.

440ml can.
L: Slight haze, yellow/gold colour with one finger of soapy head and arcs of lacing.
S: Yeasty, funky and green.
T: Lemon, sugar & pineapple. Low bitterness.
F: Medium body, buttery mouthfeel that finishes crisp and dry.
O: Unusual/experimental version of a classic west coast IPA. The lager yeast definitely adds a crisp edge but it dials back the pine and resin. The marketing blurb mentions “liquid boiled sweets” and that’s wholly accurate, although not really what I look for in a beer if I’m honest, especially at 7% ABV.
