SANTAKO West Coast IPA
IPA | 330ml | ABV 6.4%
Our newest West Coast IPA to come off the line is Santako. We've based this on one of our recent WCIPA's, Plasticity, but have replaced the Cascade portion of the dry hop with Amarillo to push the orangey citrus character further. Combined with Citra, Simcoe and Columbus the aroma immediately presents plenty of dank pine resin, marijuana, orange and grapefruit zest and some slight peachiness.
The initial taste follows with more citrus and a little kiss of sweetness before finishing with a dry and firm bitterness that doesn't overstep the mark. The body is on the leaner, drier side yet with the little addition of a very light caramel malt, a slight sweet touch blends with the bitter finish to give some of that sticky, oily, resinous character that we love in West Coast IPA.
This is a west coast IPA designed with drinkability in mind and what's more it's even celiac-friendly.
