Low Key West Coast IPA

Australia·Alcohol-Free IPA
Tap to rate

The second entry in the Low Key line takes the alcohol-free idea in a drier direction. Simcoe Cryo, Citra and Mosaic carry the hopping, joined by liquid Simcoe and Chinook additions alongside mango and pineapple. It pours a medium yellow under a tall, loose foam. Pithy citrus, pine and a resinous edge lead, with overripe mango weaving through. A firm bitterness covers the whole palate and runs into a crisp, dry finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pithy citrus and pine from Simcoe and Chinook, underpinned by a resinous, herbal edge. Overripe mango and pineapple notes drift through the mid-range, adding tropical depth without overwhelming the hop-forward character. Liquid Simcoe and Cryo processing bring a crisp, clean quality to the overall impression.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and hoppy, with citrus and pine flavors establishing immediate presence across the palate. The mid-palate develops a firm bitterness that coats evenly, while overripe mango weaves through to add complexity. Mosaic and Citra round out the bitter charge without excess harshness, maintaining balance 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.
