A Note on This Beer
Today’s Coast West Double IPA might just represent the future of hoppy beer.
This stuff has all the pithy grapefruit, bold pine, and earthy resin of the West Coast-style IPAs that defined the craft scene of the 2010s. But, it’s all wrapped in the super fluffy mouthfeel of a new-school New England juicebomb!
Impossible, you say? That’s what I thought, too! But, every sip of this citrusy 10% ABV hopbomb proves me wrong. Lucky early tasters are just as impressed as I am!
- “WOW! This is off the chain! Smooth like buttah!” @Philip B.
- “Another great DIPA from Wild Leap.” @Ed
- “Slightly bitter and still so smooth? You’ve gato be kitten me!” @Damon D.
Damon is right — much like his completely unnecessary cat puns, this beer makes no sense! But, it definitely cements Wild Leap’s status as one of the craft scene’s most exciting up-and-coming breweries. Even USA Today named them the Best New Brewery in the Country last year.
I honestly think this ‘soft yet resinous’ style may be the next evolution of the American IPA. In a year or two, you might be able to find a brew like this in your city! But until then, the innovators at Wild Leap have this one all to themselves.
USA Today named Wild Leap the Best New Brewery of 2019!
