Green Path

Tap to rate

Green Path has been part of the range since 2017 and is the brewery's regular IPA in the West Coast direction. Citra and Mosaic supply tropical fruit aromas – ripe mango, passion fruit and citrus are what these hops typically bring – over a deliberately stripped-back malt base. According to the brewery, bitterness stays low and the finish dry, which keeps the body lean and the beer bright rather than sweet or heavy.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the tropical fruit character of Citra and Mosaic hops—ripe mango and passion fruit lead, supported by clean citrus notes. Behind the hop aromatics lies a deliberately restrained Malz foundation that does not compete. The overall impression is fresh, fruit-forward, and inviting without any heavy or yeasty undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical fruit flavors that echo the aroma, with mango and citrus notes taking center stage. The Malz base remains lean and supporting, allowing the hop character to shine without sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and controlled, building gradually toward the finish rather than asserting itself on entry.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
