While this beer ticks all the West Coast IPA boxes, the piney, the resinous finish is a little too aggressive for some palates. While the palate is loaded with more grapefruit, dank, resinous pine, and some tropical fruit flavors, it’s just a little less exciting than the nose and has more malt presence than we’d expect for a classic West Coast IPA. Grapefruit, lemon zest, light caramel malts, and pine needles are prevalent on the nose. It gets its piney, resinous, grapefruit, and pineapple flavors from the addition of Mosaic, Strata, Simcoe, and Amarillo hops. Its West Coast IPA is brewed with wheat and 2-row malts. Offshoot is just that, an offshoot of The Bruery. 7) Offshoot Escape OffshootĪverage Price: $15.99 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans It’s a little bland in that department - everything else is really nice. It just lacks to bitter punch we hope for with a bold, West Coast IPA. The palate is filled with pineapple, grapefruit, caramel malts, and a muted bitterness that is sort of underwhelming. It’s a little more subdued and lacking pine than most though. It all starts with a classic West Coast nose of pine, citrus peels, and tropical fruits. It’s known for its dank, piney, slightly tropical flavor profile. This year-round West Coast IPA from Minnesota’s Fair State Brewing Cooperative is brewed with London ale yeast, Carafoam, and 2-row malts, as well as Columbus Cryo hops.

In fact, we’ll continue drinking hoppy, dank, over-the-top, bitter IPAs even when the days become bitterly cold and the snow begins to fly.

It’s officially autumn and it has been for a little bit now.
