One In The Morning

Tap to rate

A triple dry-hopped West Coast IPA, first released in early 2025 and modelled on the American originals of the style. Columbus, Simcoe, Chinook, Centennial and Nectaron go into it, partly as concentrated lupulin pellets. The brewery's trade description lists grapefruit, citrus, tropical fruit and pine. Drinkers confirm the direction and describe the beer as piney and distinctly bitter. At 6.5% it is drier and firmer than the hazy pale ales the brewery is best known for, with the resinous side of the hops in front.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and assertive, with the bitterness establishing itself immediately on the palate. Mid-palate shows the interplay of citrus and pine through the concentrated lupulin pellets, creating a distinctly dry sensation with firm structure. The finish remains hoppy and herbal, with minimal residual sweetness—this is a beer built for bitterness over roundness at 6.5% ABV.

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.
