West Coast Brewing - The Portal v1 Sour Hazy Double IPA
"Sour Hazy Double IPA w/Tangerine, Orange & Cacao nibs. Dry Hopped with Citra, Mandarina Bavaria & Motueka
Hop Dudes got tired of flying in coach. Nemesis’ minions kicking the seats, The Traveler taking up all of the luggage shelf space (Group 5 what); the constant need for full body massage therapy after every trip (not a fan of the footrests kthx). So rather than use all of that brilliant motivation and mileage to do the sensible thing and just upgrade, they just decided to build a freaking PORTAL. Forget jetsetting (as much as we actually do love that delicious status) - it’s time to just freaking disappear and reappear in different locations. Aaaand… not only did our Alchemist decidedly improve his travel game, but he also realized how much easier it would be to bring back various adjuncts and goodies from his favorite locales. All of this a long winded way of getting to The PORTAL being our NEW Sour Double IPA series. With lots of adjunct goodies. Iteration 1 is a kind of Oranje slash cocktail-inspired dessert offering, replete with tangerine puree and cacao nibs from our friends at Conche (we didn’t need the PORTAL to bring those nibs, but they did perhaps?). Sweet, burnt coffee/choco with orange, folks. That’s the beer. Sweet, slightly chemical and I think we can do a much better job with the chocolate element, but with low to no hop burn and lots of citrusy chocolate goodness, fans gonna like this first go. Keep your hands and feet inside the portal at all times." -West Coast Brewing
