Shakopee Brewhall Highway 101 West Coast IPA

Shakopee Brewhall Highway 101 West Coast IPA.


6.8 % ABV, 65 IBU. Shakopee Brewhall, Shakopee, MN. 

Clear, golden/amber hue, large and lasting layer of milky white froth atop. 

In the nose: Citrus notes on point here. In the mouth: Nice and juicy, fresh and zesty. Moderate bitterness. Smooth, malty. Bursting with citrus notes, orange and grapefruit, a little bit of lemon, touch of tangerine. Tasty stuff. Just hoppy enough to qualify for a decent West Coast IPA, but not enough to make it a great one. As is, I'll take it. 

Whether you are on the 101 along the Pacific Ocean or the 101 in Shakopee - this West Coast IPA will have you envisioning the tropics as this beer has been hit hard with a strong citrus hop blend.
