When left unattended, the brewers might just make an old school West Coast IPA with a little new school flare, thus our brand new DDH West Coast India Pale Ale, “Our Own Devices,” was born. We proudly present you with an assertively bitter, delightfully flavorful, crisp, clean and dry westy hopped with Centennial Incognito, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus Cryo, Simcoe Cryo and Comet. Dank, piney resin on the nose and beautiful tasting notes of delicately slapped mint leaves, freshly mowed fairways at Torrey Pines and tropical berries straight from the, well, tropics. Sometimes a little unsupervised brewing leads to an exquisitely crafted brew no matter which devices were used to get there.

Grabbed a 4-pack of this and two others while picking up a bottle, splitting up the 4-packs with Sonny and Kevin. Untappd description was “When left unattended, the brewers might just make an old school West Coast IPA with a little new school flare, thus our brand new DDH West Coast India Pale Ale, “Our Own Devices,” was born.

Poured a pale yellow clear color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy white head. Could see lots of bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass, looking like a snow globe. Excellent uneven foamy lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled strawberry, mint, dank pine, resin, mixed berry, grass, guava, mango, purple grape and tropical zest. For the ~five mentioned hops, could detect Centennial, Simcoe and Columbus, with a touch of woody Chinook. Maybe some black licorice in there as well. About as good from the can. (Smell - 4.00)
Tasted almost as good as the nose. In order got dank pine, resin, wood, mixed berry, guava, mango, cotton candy, purple grape, tropical zest, mint, grass and lime. For the five mentioned hops, I could detect Chinook, Simcoe and Columbus. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Lively carbonation. Long finish. (Feel - 4.25)
This one was pretty good overall. Outstanding. (Overall - 4.00)
