Urbanaut Brewing's West Coast IPA is a true standout in the world of India Pale Ales. This beer showcases the quintessential flavors and aromas that have made the West Coast IPA style a beloved classic. Upon pouring, the deep golden amber color and fluffy white head immediately catch the eye. The aroma is an intensely aromatic experience, with notes of citrus grapefruit, orange zest, pine resinous, earthy, and tropical fruit like mango and pineapple, all complemented by floral jasmine and lavender. The taste is bold and assertive, with a upfront bitterness that gives way to flavors of grapefruit, orange marmalade, pine needles, spruce tips, and a juicy medley of mango and pineapple. A hint of caramel sweetness helps to balance the bitterness, creating a complex and satisfying drinking experience. The medium body and crisp, refreshing mouthfeel, along with the moderate carbonation, make this a truly enjoyable IPA.
