Best Day Brewing West Coast IPA

What the brewers say

“Our nonalcoholic West Coast IPA. A rich malt backbone provides structure for the grapefruit Cascade notes to shine.”

What our panel thought

“Sweet crystal malt in the nose with ragweed and light pine hops. Toasty malt flavor, caramel, punch of bitterness. A bitter note up font with a quick, clean, medium-dry finish. Could use more discernible hop character, but nonetheless compelling.”

What our editors thought

“Black tea and lime on the nose, with a bit of lemon cleaner. The sip leads with a strong herbal bitterness, slightly balanced by the thin body. Rough in the sip with a watery but bitter body.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

AleSmith Brewing Co IPA Non-Alcoholic

“A light grainy malt and floral-hop note greet the nose. Light malt body beneath a candied-orange and peach profile. Light bready character in the flavor balances moderate tangerine notes. Very smooth and clean with a medium hop bittering that lingers with tangerine into the finish.”

Untitled Art NA Watermelon Gose

“Watermelon and rind in the aroma with drops of lime and agave. Some funky fermentation character. A sweet full body smacks the palate with watermelon pulp. Salty toward the back. Aftertaste of sweet fruit punch.”

Green Flash Brewing Company West Coast IPA

__Aroma:__ “Rich, well-rounded nose with a ton of citrus character (blood orange, grapefruit pith, tangerine) and a malt sweetness to support. Very slight pine aroma as it warms.” __Flavor:__ “Complex citrus hops character (blood orange, grapefruit pith) with a little nice pineapple, and substantial bitterness, but enough bright malt character that provides a good balance to the hops with some sweetness and residual sugars. Mouthfeel is great with a dry finish. Hops bitterness lingers but is not unpleasant and to be expected from this style.” __Overall:__ “Pretty classic classy IIPA with lots of fun hops, balanced bitterness, and plenty boozy for the name. One could enjoy too much of this!”
