Green Cheek Beer Company- Costa Mesa Happily Deceased
What the brewers say
“Super-punchy aromatics with some well-rounded bitterness, lots of ripe mango, riesling, and cotton candy–pixie dust.”
What our panel thought
“Classic hop profile in the aroma: grapefruit, orange, pine, a bit of green onion, chives. A hint of bready malt. The flavor echoes the aroma. Moderate sweetness into moderate bitterness. Finish is quite dry, very clean. Modern take on a classic West Coast IPA.”
What our editors thought
“Grassy garlic, white floral notes, touches of gooseberry in the nose. In the sip, light lemon, tangerine notes bounce around with crisp floral bitterness, light and energetic. Bouncy, like pogoing pop punk kids.”
