West Coast IPA

A West Coast IPA is a type of American IPA that is known for its big tropical and citrus fruit aromas. The malt base is relatively mild, giving those bright fruit notes prime billing and expanding from the smell into the flavour. West Coast IPAs are more bitter than their East Coast counterparts and are characterized by dank, resiny flavours of citrus and pine. They are all about the hops and have a light to moderate mouthfeel with a crisp and dry finish.
