West Coast IPA
A solid malt backbone and core bitterness are balanced by lighter fruity hop aromas, in a haze-free IPA. Sultana, Eureka and Lotus hops give it a fresh, modern hop profile over pale two-row, Pilsner and midnight wheat malts at 7.6% and 75 IBU. First brewed in 2022 as an updated take on the West Coast style, year-round.
