Arbeiter WestKüst West Coast IPA.
6.9 % ABV, Arbeiter Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Clear, bright golden hue, large, lace-leaving ivory head.
In the nose: large hop presence, big citrus notes.
In the mouth: Bitter from the start, with a juicy mouthfeel, ultimately ending dry and brittle. Orange, grapefruit, lemon, and a side of pine. Bitterness never quits the palate, laying in long for the finish. This has all the hops and all the bitterness that a West Coast IPA demands, but it's just a little fresher, brighter, and tastier. Medium bodied, easy drinking (for the hop-heads among us, like me), and an exemplary example of an IPA.
If you keep brewing this, Arbeiter, I'll keep drinking it.
