Rampušák West Coast IPA

Tap to rate

Pine and citrus tones carry a strong hop aroma from Simcoe, Centennial and Cascade. Bitterness is pronounced yet balanced, and a deeply fermented base leads to a dry, refreshing finish. The brewery introduces it as its West Coast IPA, in which the trio of hops is in charge of an iconic, strong but balanced bitterness.

◐ Taste

Bitter-forward entry with pronounced bitterness that remains well-integrated rather than harsh. The mid-palate displays layered pine and citrus notes while maintaining a lean, dry body; the deeply fermented base strips away residual sweetness, amplifying hop character and mineral bite.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
