Cold IPA has its origins in the West Coast IPA style and ours is no exception with a solid malt backbone and a big dry hop. The difference comes in fermentation where we use our house lager yeast at lower temperature to give the beer a crisp, dry clean finish with amazing hop character you’d expect in a Westie.

440ml can.
L: Light haze, gold colour with a finger of long-lasting cream head that leaves rings of lacing.
S: Citrus rind and a touch of funk.
T: Yellow grapefruit, apricot, clover honey and pine. The bitterness builds but stops short of becoming harsh.
F: Medium/full body but clean & crisp not cloying. Extra dry.
O: Too bitter to be totally refreshing but still fruity and approachable. A west coast-style AIPA with some snap.
