This unfiltered West Coast-style IPA is aggressively hopped in the kettle and dry hopped in two stages with Cascade, Citra Columbus, Comet and Simcoe hops. It is crisp, semi-dry, appropriately bitter and saturated in ripe citrus fruit and.

GREY’S VIEW
DDH West Coast IPA w/ Cascade, Citra, Comet, Columbus & Simcoe hops.
Ok. West Coast IPA with DDH. First wave is intresting. It offers offwhite bread, mandarins, semi dry grass, some herbal/floral notes and also cantaloupe and a little bit of pineapple. It’s intresting piece. Mouthfeel is clearly unfiltered, somewhat creamy. Bitter notes are really too speedy with their beings, but the DDH is perfected.
OTHER NOTES:
So nice to get back at Root + Branch! This one is solid, although the West Coast vibes could’ve been more significant to me. DDH is perfected in this one.
