Summer Hero 2.0
A West Coast IPA with Simcoe, Citra and Cascade over a light malt base. Pine and resin come first, then grapefruit and lemon, with softer notes of honeydew and cantaloupe and a ghost of mint and basil at the back. Gently sweet, firmly bitter, crisp and dry, which the brewers call how a West Coast IPA should feel.
