🌍 United States · West Coast IPA · One of 12 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ

LBC IPA from Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach, California pours a clear, burnished amber with a bright white head that lingers with lacy persistence. True to its Southern Californian roots, the aroma bursts with sun-drenched citrus — ripe grapefruit, tangerine zest, and a whisper of tropical mango — underpinned by a clean, resinous pine character. On the palate, a firm bitterness takes command early, balanced by a crisp, moderately dry malt backbone that stays well out of the way. The West Coast style is expressed honestly: lean, clean, and unapologetically hop-forward. The finish is long, dry, and bracingly bitter, leaving a satisfying resinous tang. A textbook West Coast IPA that proudly represents the Long Beach brewing scene.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
