Nickel Brook Brewing Co.

West Coast IPA·Canada·7% ABV·One of 159 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Head Stock's resinous and piney character. A clear, deep gold West Coast IPA with pine and grapefruit at the front. Behind them sit apricot and other tree fruit, a resinous edge, and a cereal maltiness that gives the hops something to push against. Bitterness is firm without turning harsh, the body medium, and the finish long and dry with lemon peel and a light herbal note.
