West Is The Best
A West Coast IPA with a distinct citrus aroma, richly hopped and fragrant with the US hops Simcoe and Citra. The bitterness is pronounced and meets real strength, in an old-school, unfiltered style. It was relaunched in a new look and belongs to the core range of beers the brewery says you will always find.
