Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

How they compare
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with the wider catalogue across breweries making similar styles.

Across 9 beers in 6 style families, none of WEST Brewery's characters carry through the whole range — the mix of styles they brew is the signature here.
