Tap to rate

A West Coast IPA with fresh grapefruit juice added after the hopping, so the fruit tartness lands on top of an already bitter base rather than softening it. Grapefruit, lime and tropical zest lead the aroma, with pine and resin behind them. Rye in the grist adds a dry, faintly spicy edge, and the finish stays sharply bitter and clean.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—fresh grapefruit juice and lime zest—layered over a foundation of pine and resinous Edelhopfen character. Below the fruit-forward top notes sits a subtle herbal and woody minerality that grounds the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive bitterness and citric tartness that work in tandem rather than offset one another. Tropical and piney notes weave through the mid-palate, while rye adds a dry, faintly peppery grip. The body remains lean and clean, allowing the hop profile to dominate without muddiness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and uncompromising—lingering bitterness and herbal resin fade into a bone-dry aftertaste with no residual sweetness. The clean exit reinforces the West Coast profile.

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.
