Green Beacon West Coast IPA

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a pale, fine-grained head that adheres well to the glass with persistent lacing. The carbonation is brisk and evenly distributed, creating an inviting, lively presentation characteristic of the West Coast IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant passion fruit and citrus notes—primarily grapefruit—layered over a pronounced resinous pine character. A subtle herbaceous edge frames these fruit-forward impressions, with the overall aromatic profile showing good intensity and complexity without yeast or malt dominance.

◐ Taste

Entry brings clean, fruit-driven character balanced atop a crisp pale malt foundation. The mid-palate sustains grapefruit and pine notes with measured bitterness, while subtle residual sweetness softens the overall dryness without muddying the hop expression. Flavors remain well-integrated and harmonious throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with pine and grapefruit persisting into the aftertaste. Hop bitterness fades gradually, leaving a clean, slightly resinous dryness on the palate.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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