4×4

Tap to rate

A West Coast IPA — clean, dry, bitter. Pine and resin dominate, citrus supports, no juicy softness. Malt, oats and wheat give the body just enough structure for the aggressive hop bill to sit on.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 4×4

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The head builds quickly and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, characteristic of a well-executed West Coast profile.

◌ Aroma

Pine and resin lead the charge, with herbaceous depth that defines the nose. Supporting citrus notes—primarily orange zest—emerge beneath the dominant evergreen character, while a clean fermentation profile keeps the aroma crisp and focused.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive bitterness and resinous hop character that commands attention without apology. Oats and wheat provide structural support, allowing the aggressive hop bill to land cleanly without muddiness. Dryness intensifies through the mid-palate, with subtle tropical undertones adding complexity before the finish takes hold.

◑ Finish

The bitter finish extends cleanly and lingers with persistence, leaving behind resiny pine and a bone-dry palate. No sweetness or juiciness softens the exit.

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.

About West Coast IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a West Coast IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar West Coast IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same resinous, hoppy, piney character as 4×4 will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
