Luce Line Hard Tail West Coast IPA

 Luce Line Hard Tail West Coast IPA. 

7.1% ABV, Luce Line Brew Co, Plymouth, MN.

And here we have the first appearance of Luce Line in the Nib. Hopefully, not the last.

Clear, bright golden hue, slim, white head. 

In the nose: pine, citrus, grapefruit peel, essence of orange.

In the mouth: bitterness abounds on the palate, lingering through the finish. Crisp, clean, snappy. Light bodied and delicious. At last, a West Coast IPA that actually tastes like one. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. 

Hard Tail IPA, a reimagining of our house West Coast IPA. Brewed with a light malt bill and hopped in the kettle with Columbus and Simcoe, Hard Tail is dry hopped over multiple stages with Simcoe, Centennial and a huge helping of Citra hops.
