It's So California
Grapefruit, orange, citrus, tropical fruit and pine, plus a finely resinous spice, set the tone in It's So California, a dry West Coast IPA with a pronounced hop bitterness. Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial and Citra are the hops; caramel malt and oats give the 7.2% ABV beer enough body to balance them.
