Beers similar to West Coast Ghost

Double IPA·United States·8% ABV·One of 379 Double IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share West Coast Ghost's citrusy and tropical character. A bold tropical citrus punch from Citra meets crisp grapefruit pith notes over a malty backbone, and the finish is dry and clean; for a big double IPA it drinks easy. Parish asked what if hazy IPAs had never made their mark and reimagined Ghost in the Machine as a crystal-clear West Coast DIPA, helped by a longer boil.
