The 9 West Coast IPA by Liberty Brewing is a must-try for any IPA enthusiast. This American West Coast-style IPA boasts an impressive 7.5% alcohol content and a harmonious blend of intense hop flavors and aromas. Upon pouring, this beer presents a deep golden amber color with a dense, creamy white head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is intensely aromatic, with an explosion of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine notes. Ripe mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon zest dominate the nose, while a hint of herbal and floral hop character adds complexity. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with a vibrant burst of juicy tropical fruit. Mango, pineapple, and passion fruit dance on the palate, complemented by zesty citrus notes of grapefruit and lime. The herbal and floral hop bitterness provides a firm backbone, balancing the sweetness and imparting a resinous and earthy undertone. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is crisp and clean, with a lively effervescence that lifts the beer and enhances its flavors.
