Skumenn's flagship West Coast IPA — named for the Pacific Northwest inspiration behind its hop bill. Pine, grapefruit, and a firm resinous bitterness over a clean malt base. Dry-hopped aggressively for maximum aroma. One of Rennes' most celebrated craft beers.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and direct, with immediate hop bitterness layered over a crisp, dry palate. Mid-palate brings grapefruit zest and pine resin, balanced by a light malt sweetness that prevents harshness. The bitterness remains firm and integrated throughout.

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.
