Our Second Most Popular IPA

◎ Appearance

Bright pale gold with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that adheres to the glass with crisp lacing. The carbonation presents as moderately active, generating a steady stream of small bubbles that sustain the foam collar throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath a pronounced resinous character typical of the Simcoe and Columbus hops. Pine and herbal notes emerge in the mid-range, while the underlying Malz foundation remains restrained, allowing the hop profile to dominate without floral or fruity fermentation esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and assertively hoppy, with citrus and pine flavours establishing themselves immediately on the mid-palate. The bitterness builds steadily to a moderate level (60 IBU), finishing dry with a lingering resinous bite that underscores the classic West Coast approach—balanced enough to drink, yet uncompromising in its hop expression.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste extends pleasantly into the long finish, maintaining the resinous, piney character without astringency. A dry, slightly spicy quality persists, inviting continued sipping rather than cloying the palate.
