Our interpretation of a West Coast IPA is golden, medium-bodied ale that is very hop forward. The use of Cascade, Chinook, Columbus, Centennial and Crystal hops makes this beer a hophead’s dream.

Hazy orange yellow. definitely west coast dry hop bomb. Lost head a little quick. Tastes great! Good first stop in Portsmouth.

Clear and copper colored with a thin head. Sticky resin flavor and taste. Outright bitter with a nice sweet undertone. Excellent beer.

A: Poured from the growler into a tulip glass. Body is slightly hazy orangey-amber with a thick but short off-white head. Nice sheets of foamy lace.
S: Citrusy and florally hops. Not a terribly overwhelming nose, but it's nice for an IPA.
T: Bready malt foundation is followed by citrusy hops - grapefruit, grapefruit peel and a lemony finish that lingers nicely.
M: Call it medium in heft, modest creaminess.
O: Good stuff.
