A Note on This Beer
When it comes to crafting the increasingly elusive West Coast IPA, the GABF and Oregon Beer Award-winning crew at Ex Novo do not mess around.
They’ve dedicated an entire series JUST to perfecting the style! Their latest release, Wizard & Glass West Coast IPA, gushes with all of the crisp, clean citrus ‘n pine resin flavors needed to transport your taste buds straight to the Pacific Northwest.
These Portland-based hopheads use heaps of Nelson, Simcoe, Galaxy, and Amarillo Hops for fragrant swells of plush mandarin orange, swirled with the ever-so-refreshing foresty bite that West Coast IPA fans love.
All I’m saying is — imagine pummelling grapefruits into a pulp with a fresh-cut branch from a Douglas Fir tree, and you’ll have an idea of the citrus-meets-resin flavors in this brew!
If you’re looking to add some serious variety to your IPA line-up, it’s time to hop aboard the Ex Novo hopjuice train. This 6.8% ABV treat is certainly a labor of craft love!
