While we all love juicy, hazy New England IPAs, there remains a soft spot in our hearts for piney, earthy West Coasters. Introducing our Vaguely Stylish West Coast IPA series. In our sixth iteration, Stripes, Chinook and Cascade combine to make a true throwback to Cali IPAs. Citrus, pine, and floral notes mesh beautifully with the malty backbone of a West Coast IPA make this a truly unique beer in the series. These beers once dominated the craft beer scene, and we think they’re still A-OK

I am trying this beer off the tapper at The brewery as part of a five sample flight. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had bitter hop notes with pine accents. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp semi sweet malt base with bitter pine resin and finishing hops. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
