About This Beer

To make this West Coast Hopbomb, our friends at Revolution Brewing double dry-hopped this crystal-clear brew with copious amounts of Simcoe, Centennial, Cascade, Amarillo, and Citra Hops.

Tasting Notes

On the sip, notes of bready malt collide with grapefruit and a heavy-dose of pine resin. The 8% ABV adds just the right amount of gentle warmth to the crisp finish. It’s a bit like drinking a time machine back to ten years ago when big and brash IPAs dominated the craft scene, but its refined flavor reaches a brand new level of refreshing drinkability.

Love traditional west coast IPAs with the well balanced and hoppy flavors of citrus, stone fruit and piney resins

A good bitter, clear, WC IPA. No orange juice here! Old school! I like it.

pretty good take on a WCIPA. A little less hops than a normal WCIPA but solid version.

Very nice and crisp West Coast IPA. Had all of my favorite IPA and in just the right proportions to get the citrus flavor and a slight piney after taste.

Starts out earthy, dark green, like thick, gnarly tree moss. As it moves across the palate, getting toasty, drying out to smoldering weed ash, It sends out puffs of mango and tangerine haze as it crosses the palate. More authentic west coast than I've tasted in years. Not afraid to boast a blatant bong water bulwark.

Very intense! Flavorful for sure, but the IBUs has to be through the roof 😂 It does take away from the flavor in the aftertaste, but still pretty decent. Wouldn’t necessarily seek this out again, but still good
