LITTLE BEAST /Maiden West IPA (West Coast IPA 6.1%)

Appearance
Clear with slight haze. I think it’s amazing how clear it is even though they used oats.

Aroma (anterior nasal receptors)
Moderate dry hopping? The aroma isn’t fresh so has it evaporated?
Strong passion fruit feel. Mosaic? I thought, but it was Simcoe. I don’t really understand the difference between Mosaic and Simcoe. The tropical character is also quite prominent.

Slightly oily aroma?

Aroma (posterior nasal receptors)
★Intense Citra here★ Strong melon-like character. This use of Citra is incredibly cool. Citra that appeals to the anterior receptors is so common that I feel a bit tired of it. On the other hand, Citra that strongly appeals only here might be fresh.

Mouthfeel
Maybe not that much oats? Gentle but with a slight carbonation sting. That kind of gentleness.

Body and texture
The malt is quite restrained. All hops forward, but there’s body and drinkability. I think it’s because they’re using solid malt, but ★the malt doesn’t come through in the flavor★ which is incredibly cool. I really like it.

When it warms up, the malt’s cookie character comes out a bit, but the hops are still strong. Just a slight atmosphere like marmalade jam on bread crust. Very WCIPA-like and I love it

The moment of swallowing
Passion! Lemon! Mint! Marmalade! Swallowed the hops!

Aftertaste
A marmalade-like bitterness lingers for a long time. Very delicious.

Overall impression
Hops pushed to the forefront, with malt and oats existing to enhance the hops, the best WCIPA. Love it♡

Off-flavors

Bottom
I really feel the oats. Neither harsh nor astringent but slippery. Slippery. I think it’s fine to mix it.
