Portage Hills And Horizons West Coast IPA

 


Portage Hills And Horizons West Coast IPA. Strata/Citra/Mosaic.

6.6 % ABV, 67 IBU. Portage Brewing, Walker, MNo

Clear, bright golden hue, slim, lace leaving ivory head. 

In the nose: bright, bold, floral, citrus & pine. So far, all is in alignment.

In the mouth: crisp, brisk, bitter, breezy. Plenty of bitterness popping on the palate. The tongue and back of the throat are ablaze with bitterness. This West Coast IPA is not holding back. I demand more like this. Demand, I tells ya! Make it again, Portage, and I’ll be back for it. Promise.

Three of our top hops used in 2022 have made their way into a beer. Riding that thin line between tradition and innovation, we layered the Strata CGX hop from Crosby Hops, along with our hand selected Citra and Mosaic. Aromatics of strawberry taffy, orange peel, and berry tea. Assertive bitterness with a classic West Coast IPA finish.
