West Coast-Hero

◎ Appearance

Crystal-clear golden body with bright, pale amber hues characteristic of the West Coast tradition. A dense, off-white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving fine lacing with each sip. Carbonation appears crisp and well-integrated, neither aggressive nor flat.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous, dank hop character—earthy and mineral-forward with a slight herbal undertone. Citrus notes emerge on closer inspection, offering hints of grapefruit pith and dried orange. Subtle clean malt backbone supports the hops without competing, allowing the varietal character to lead.

◐ Taste

Entry is bold and hoppy, with immediate resinous bite and dank, piney notes layering across the palate. Mid-palate remains clean and crisp, showcasing citrus bitterness without harsh edges. The 62 IBU delivers moderate bitterness that feels proportionate to the 8% ABV—balanced rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

Drying finish with lingering resinous and herbal hop notes that fade gradually over several minutes. Clean aftertaste with minimal malt sweetness, allowing the hop profile to dominate the closing impression.
