COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Westy is somewhat of an i.p.a.Named after our 1985 VW delivery van,Westy is not normal. It is hopped with German noble hops and fermented with lager yeast, giving it a lot of unique flavors. The aroma is floral, the hop bite is spicy and the finish is crisp and dry like a lager.

Tap sample under the name Westy Lager. Poured clear golden copper color with a moderate to large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate complex floral hop and toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a dry slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a solid beer.

Served from the growler shared by awiseman01 at DLD ’10. The appearance is a solid golden orange with a small white head. A lot of spicy mild hop characters in here, some biscuit, and toffee make for nice notes. The mouth is dry. Pretty nice.

Growler from Sun King. Pours crystal clear golden/orange with thick foaming white head. Nose is juicy orange hops with a touch of coriander/spice. Flavor is highly carbonated citrus hop punch with a nice tasting mellow malt backing. It has an odd taste that is different from anything they’ve put out so far. A little dry/earthy in the finish, but a wonderful citrus component throughout. Nice job on this style.
