Golden Mile
Whiplash Brewing

Clingy carpet of snow over bright hazy straw that gets murky as it goes; lemondrops, flowers, dank, and mint leaves on the nose; grapefruit, lemon zest, pineapple rind, peach skin, pine needles; soft, salty, smooth.

Vic Secret, Centennial

Puts the pale in “pale ale” - Pale + Carapils leaves one of the lightest malt loads this brewery has delivered.
On top of that goes Centennial breakfast grapefruit + VS evergreen and, sure, a bit of passionfruit. It’s discrete, though; there’s no ringing menthol that I usually associate with Vic Secret.
This is yet another (along with Window Lean + Promise Everything) light-and-clean Whiplash IPA - easy on the esters, less hazy than usual, and straining to fit into the fruit smoothie NEIPA template.
These beers are a lot less interesting, but they sure are drinkable.

More West Coast than some of the West Coast IPAs from this brewery.
