56 Home Improvements West Coast IPA

 56 Home Improvements West Coast IPA.




5.7 % ABV, 46 IBU, 56 Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 

Clear, golden hued, slim white head. 

In the nose: mildly hoppy, slight sweetness, lacking in the aromatics I want in this style. Some citrus starts to trickle in.

In the mouth: some hoppy flavors, but lacks bitterness. Too juicy, not quite dry enough. Lean bodied, finishing dry and progressively bitter. 

I’m warming up to this one. I’d drink it again, though it disappointed at the start. I like my WCIPAs to tackle the palate from the get-go. 

A super crisp west coast IPA featuring Erebus, Comet, and Chinook hops. Delightfully fruity, floral and dank. A light floral and zesty nose plays well with sweet berry, lemon zest, grapefruit, and resinous flavors.
