Modern Drinking - West Coast IPA

West Coast IPA rule No. 1? Hops, hops, hops!

The Polish brewers at Browar Pinta have gathered all their knowledge of the American West Coast version of IPA and conjured up a masterful West Coast IPA. With combined forces and a ton of hops, Modern Drinking was created - an IPA that couldn't be more American, even though it comes from Poland.

Modern Drinking flows into the glass in a slightly cloudy amber hue. Sweet citrus notes rise from the small white head, which combine with a resinous pine scent and caramelized roasted malt on the nose. On the tongue, the West Coast IPA initially appears malty and sweet, before the hoppy, fruity notes of juicy citrus fruits join in and bring with them a subtle acidity. The IPA is well balanced between the sweetness of dark caramel and brown sugar and the nice, dry hop bitterness. Modern Drinking shows the craftsmanship of the brewers at Pinta, who manage to bring out all the facets of the aroma hops. Floral, tropical fruity, citrusy and balanced bitter, their version of a West Coast IPA impresses us.

An honest, straightforward IPA with a lot of hop power!
