🌍 Canada · West Coast IPA · One of 34 West Coast IPAs in hopIQ

A west coast IPA the brewery describes as well balanced and only slightly bitter, with floral, citrus and pine aromas. Corn and rice appear in the ingredient list alongside barley, which is unusual for the style and keeps the malt body light under the hops. It is currently listed only in 30 litre kegs and in the Hop Box mixed pack.

Assertively bitter and dry.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Reverb

Appearance

Reverb presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The head builds quickly and clings to the glass with distinct lacing, leaving a clean track down the side of the bowl as you drink.

pale goldenbright claritypersistent lacing

Aroma

The nose leads with a vibrant floral character—lavender and geranium notes sit alongside bright citrus peel and a pronounced pine resin backbone. Light grain undertones from the corn and rice adjuncts keep the malt impression subtle, allowing the noble hops to dominate without astringency.

Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with citrus and pine immediately taking point on the palate. The corn and rice adjuncts create a dry, clean malt body that never becomes sweet or heavy, letting the resinous hoppy character develop through the mid-palate. Bitterness is moderate and integrated—present enough to define the beer but restrained, finishing dry without harshness.

Finish

The finish is crisp and lingering, with pine and floral notes persisting gently on the palate. A pleasant, hop-driven dryness lingers without becoming astringent.

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.

About West Coast IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a West Coast IPA?
