Central Waters Straight Outta Amherst West Coast Style Double India Pale Ale

Central Waters Straight Outta Amherst West Coast Style Double India Pale Ale.

9 % ABV, 80 IBU. Central Waters Brewing, Amherst, WI. 

Clear, bright amber/golden coloring, slim white head. 

In the nose: Citrus and pine aplenty, with stone fruit on the side. Hints of candied apricots meet orange and tangerine. 

In the mouth: Bold and bitter at first sip. Juicy, dank, resinous, all the things. Much malt at work, as well. Bomb-Tactic. Huge and delicious. Audacious. This one goes to town on the palate, in a good way, of course. Some might call it "hot", I call it Bombitty-bomb, bom, boom. Also, yum-a-dum-dum. 

I've become very fond of this. It's can #6, but there may be reinforcements on the way. 

Before the haze hysteria swept the craft beer industry, IPA was defined by coast and the IBU was king. This example of a west coast style IPA is brewed with a touch of oats and double dry hopped with Centennial and Sultana hops.
