West Coast IPA – Trading Post Brewing

By Mike @mikescraftbeer

From Trading Post Brewing in Langley comes their "West Coast IPA". The beer pours a golden colour with a white head. The aroma consists of floral hops, citrus, tropical fruit and pine. The flavour is of herbal hops, resin, pine, tropical fruit, grapefruit, earth and bitterness. The alcohol content comes in at 6.3% with an IBU of 61. I am glad to see more options from Trading Post being bottled. This was a great West Coast India Pale Ale.

Commercial Description: Crafted in the West Coast tradition, this Special IPA is brewed with Superior Pilsner malt, 6 different hop varieties and 3 dry hop additions. Flavours of tropical fruit, pomelo and grapefruit evolve into pine and resin bitterness on the finish. Balanced by a medium malt body, this is West Coast IPA at its finest.
