About West Coast IPA

West Coast IPAs are bold, hop-forward beers known for their intense citrus and pine aromas.

They feature a high level of bitterness and a crystal-clear appearance that sets them apart.

With a light malt backbone and dry finish, this style puts hops at centre stage, delivering crisp, clean flavours with every sip. 

These no-nonsense IPAs are unapologetically bitter and refreshing, offering a sharp contrast to hazier, juicier styles.

Fans of West Coast IPAs appreciate their punchy character, clarity and old-school appeal. It's a timeless, assertive style that continues to thrive with a dedicated and passionate following.
