Série Relais West Coast IPA
The West Coast entry in the Relais brewpub series, brewed lean and dry rather than malt-sweet. Orange and grapefruit lead the nose, with pine resin sitting behind them. The malt keeps to the background and the body is narrow, so a firm bitterness runs the whole length of the beer and holds into a drying, faintly resinous finish. Citrus rather than tropical fruit sets the tone throughout.
