Beer Review: West Coast IPA (WCIPA)

My pick for the day was the West Coast IPA (WCIPA) — the quintessential PNW beer style.

From the first sip, you get that distinctly PNW grassy and herbal character that spreads pleasantly across the palate. A fresh, green grassiness, dried flower aromas, and a slow-building hop flavor create an exquisite balance that reaffirms “this is PNW beer.” Not too heavy, not too light — an IPA you can sip leisurely, and before you know it, you’re wanting another pint.
