Mason Ale Works Bride of Dankenstein West Coast IPA

 Mason Ale Works Bride of Dankenstein West Coast IPA.

7% ABV, Mason Ale Works, San Marcos, California.

A few weeks ago, I had the Monster, now it’s time for the Bride. 

Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head.

In the nose: citrus and pine, grapefruit and lime. Touch of tropical fruit sweetness.

In the mouth: juicy, dank, dry, in that order. Orange and lemon make way for mango. Fruity at first, turning bitter and dry, just the way we like it. All those bitter hops scour the palate, leaving it brittle and dry and deliciousness reigns. Absolutely delightful.

You know what they say, the best things come in pairs. This Classic west coast single IPA is the significant other, or bride so to speak, to our Dankenstein's Monster. We sewed together a bouquet of Citra, Idaho 7, Cascade, Cashmere, Strata, and Amarillo to create a beer that is lighter and more fruit forward than her more monstrous other half, although sure to still ELECTRIFY
