The Brewing Projekt Thing of the Hill West Coast IPA


 The Brewing Projekt Thing of the Hill West Coast IPA.

6.9% ABV, The Brewing Projekt, Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Clear, bright golden hue, large ivory head. 

In the nose: big citrus and a pinch of pine. Orange rind and grapefruit zest. 

In the mouth: bitter bite kicks it off. Just a little bit juicy, then it quickly turns dry. Medium bodied, with a long, hoppy finish. 

There’s a residual sweetness, though, that comes through in the end. This needs to be cleaner and drier. Very close, but missing it by a bit.

I bought this four-pack because it was a mere $12.49 and it claimed to be of my favorite style. Didn’t quite get there, but they’re trying.
