Firestone Walker Union Jack (Paso Robles, California) has been an inspiring beer since its release. Most brewers consider it the standard for West Coast IPA. It is bright, hops-forward, fruity, clean, and fresh, with lots of citrus, just enough malt, and an incredible balance. It is an inspiring and delicious IPA!
