This is a collaboration that was inspired by the idea that West Coast IPA is at its best when it is living, breathing, and evolving. By paying homage to the classics and also by stretching their boundaries, modern breweries are helping them find new audiences. This beer embodies this way of thinking, letting the Simcoe and Citra sing loudly while the malt flavour is relatively reserved.
Brewed without crystal malt, the IPA is clear without a heavy malt profile.
With this IPA, you’re getting a clean and bright beer with a rewarding hoppy bitterness, underpinned by the fruitiness of the Citra and the rich pine of the Simcoe.

440ml can. A big American-style IPA from Manchester, England. Clear and pale gold with minimal head. Rich tropical fruits aroma. Oozes overripe citrus and tropical fruit flavours with a perfect piney edge. Full bodied with an oily mouthfeel and a lightly bitter finish. A tasty, beautifully crafted West Coast IPA… but 7.2% ABV is overkill for me. Would love this to be 6%.
