hopIQ found 10 beers with the same resinous and piney character as Hawkers Double West Coast IPA. The core West Coast recipe scaled up, with the added strength showing as weight rather than sweetness. Pine, resin and grapefruit lead, orange and a floral edge sit behind them, and the caramel malt base stays lean for the alcohol level. Bitterness is heavy and carries the whole way through a long, dry finish; the warmth of the alcohol only appears late. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
