Relax West Coast
Relax West Coast is the clear, dry counterpart to the hazy Relax and was sold earlier under the name Escape. Mosaic, Strata, Simcoe and Amarillo are paired with pale malt and some wheat and fermented with a clean California ale yeast. It pours bright gold and clear. Passion fruit and grapefruit zest open the nose, followed by pine needles and a resinous note. The body is lean and crisp, and a noticeable bitterness carries into a dry finish.

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