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

Metamorph is a collaborative West Coast IPA from Cerebral Brewing of Denver, Colorado, created alongside Idaho Springs' Westbound & Down Brewing. It pours a clear, luminous gold with a firm white head that slowly recedes to a persistent ring. The aroma leaps forward with vivid grapefruit zest and nectarine skin, grounded by an evocative Douglas fir resinousness that speaks to the Pacific Northwest hop tradition. On the palate, citrus brightness leads before piney, resinous bitterness takes hold — structured, assertive, and unmistakably West Coast in character. The finish is clean and dry, with lingering grapefruit pith and a bracing evergreen quality that rewards repeated sipping. A sharp, well-crafted IPA that highlights what Colorado's collaborative brewing scene does best.

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.
