Westy

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A vigorous pour generates dense, sticky foam that rises above the rim and clings persistently to the glass in white lacing. Fine carbonation shows as steady streams of tiny bubbles ascending through the body.

◌ Aroma

Intensely aromatic with dank, resinous hop character dominating the nose. Bright citrus notes emerge—bitter grapefruit peel and ruby red grapefruit zest—layered beneath a pronounced pine and herbal quality. Classic Pacific Northwest hop profile provides earthy depth and a subtle spicy undertone.

◐ Taste

Entry presents bold bitterness with crisp citrus and pine flavors building immediately across the palate. Mid-palate sustains resinous hop intensity and grapefruit bitterness, supported by clean, dry malt backbone without sweetness. Spicy hop character adds complexity and prevents one-dimensionality; the 100 IBU load integrates well rather than overwhelming.

◑ Finish

Crisp, dry finish with lingering hop bitterness and a persistent grapefruit and pine aftertaste. No residual sweetness; the beer fades to a clean, bitter conclusion that invites the next sip.
