Monteith's West Coast IPA is a bold and assertive IPA that showcases the vibrant flavors of the West Coast hop profile. Pouring a vibrant amber color with a creamy off-white head, this crystal-clear brew exhibits a lively carbonation that sets the stage for an explosion of citrus and piney hops. The aroma is a delightful blend of grapefruit, orange zest, and fresh pine needles, with subtle hints of caramel and bread providing a gentle counterpoint. On the palate, the beer delivers a symphony of citrus flavors, including grapefruit, lemon, and lime, all balanced by a subtle maltiness that serves as a foundation for the intense hop character. The bitterness lingers on the tongue, accentuating the hop-forward nature of this IPA, while the medium-bodied texture and crisp, refreshing finish make it a satisfying and flavorful brew for hop enthusiasts. With an alcohol content of 6.5% and an IBU of 70, Monteith's West Coast IPA is a classic and refined example of the American-style IPA.
