Doomtown

Tap to rate

One of the first beers brewed at Wayfinder when its brewhouse started up in 2017, conceived as a classic West Coast IPA focused on citrus and pine. Cleanly fermented and heavily dry-hopped, it pours clear gold to light amber. The nose is floral and perfumed, with grapefruit, peach and passion fruit over a leafy, herbal hop note. Pineapple and lemon meet a touch of caramel malt on the palate before a pronounced resinous bitterness and a dry finish.

The finish is distinctly dry, with lingering hop oils and no residual sweetness.

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.
