Green Beacon West Coast IPA
Green Beacon West Coast IPA is a limited release hopped with Riwaka, Talus and Vic Secret and brewed to 6.66 % ABV. The aroma brings passion fruit, citrus and grapefruit with a resinous pine edge. On the palate the same fruit sits on a pale malt base with a subtle sweetness that balances the hops. Pine and grapefruit stay present into the finish and give the beer the drier, hop-driven profile of the West Coast style.
