Three Weavers Expatriate India Pale Ale

Three Weavers Expatriate India Pale Ale.

6.9 % ABV, Three Weavers Brewing, Inglewood, CA. 

This is the final of three cans from a very unique sampler pack that I bought back in January and have forgotten what it's called. Four IPAs from four different breweries in four different states. Unique in that two of them (Three Weavers and Texas' Deep Ellum) are breweries that are not distributed here, and the other two (Cigar City and Oskar Blues) are brought here by two different distributors. 

Clear, bright golden hue, pure white head, leaving some lace, looking lovely. 

In the nose: Bold, expressive citrus and pine, and nothing but. I love it. 

In the mouth: Big bitterness from the start, more citrus and pine, pineapple, grapefruit, lemon, briefly juicy, then turning dry. Medium bodied. Long finish, never ending hoppiness. Brisk, crisp, refreshing. My kind of West Coast IPA. Just a little short of delicious, but ever-so close. 

Inspired by the Three Weavers Community, our West Coast IPA is bright and laden with notes of tropical fruits. Brewed with two-row barley, a tough of English crystal malt and loaded with new age American hops, Expatriate is home no matter where you are. Brewed and bottled by Three Weavers Brewing Company, Inglewood, California.
