Junkyard Gone Hollywood West Coast style IPA

Junkyard Gone Hollywood West Coast style IPA. With Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra. 

6.9 % ABV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.


Lightly hazed. Not completely clear. They just couldn't do it. Tried, though. Give 'em credit for that. Bright golden hue, short white head. 

In the nose: Big-time citrus and pine. Lemon/lime, orange, grapefruit. Dank.

In the mouth: Great blast of bitterness at the top, nice and juicy, turning dry in a quickness. Crisp, clean, bold and hoppy. Medium bodied, easy-drinking, for the hopheads, of course. All others, need not apply. 

Big, bold, beautiful happiness. This, I love. Yum a dum dum. It delivers all the goods you want in a West Coast IPA, the kind I love. Keep em coming, Junkyard, don't stop here. 

This Oscarworthy IPA is brewed with an all-star cast of hops. In the whirlpool we added Falconer's Flight, Citra, Denali, El Dorado and Strata. Then we dry hopped this West Coaster with more Falconer's Flight, Cryo Ekuanot, and Strata. Le's get to it, annnnd ACTION!

I'm not sure why the references for the West Coast style interpretations always go for Hollywood / L.A. San Diego is home to that style. Why not make a reference to that? (Footnote: this beer came right after the release of BlackStack’s West Coast IPA, Tinseltown.)
