Big Eagle

◎ Appearance

Big Eagle presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, sustained white head. The carbonation is lively, with fine bubbles creating good retention and delicate lacing on the glass. The body appears light to medium, true to the West Coast IPA aesthetic.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive pine and resin, characteristic of classic West Coast hop work, layered with subtle citrus undertones. Behind this sits a clean, grainy Malz base with wheat adding a soft, slightly sweet backdrop. The overall impression is fresh and herbal, with no yeast-driven or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with pine and resin flavours moving across the palate immediately. The Malz character—barley and wheat in balance—provides subtle sweetness and body, preventing the beer from becoming harsh. Bitterness builds steadily through the mid-palate and lingers into the finish, dry and assertive but not overwhelming at 60 IBU.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with lingering pine and resin that gradually fade to a clean, slightly astringent aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or rough edges remain.
