(This is the new recipe for West Coast IPA, now an Imperial IPA) If you are drinking this one in Europe, chances are you should be rating under this entry: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/green-flash-west-coast-ipa-european-edition/281827/ As craft beer pioneers, we embarked on an expedition to brew the benchmark West Coast IPA. We ventured into the unknown and struck gold, discovering a tantalizing menagerie of hops. Simcoe for tropical and grapefruit zest, Columbus for hop pungency, Centennial for pine notes, Citra for citrus zest, and Cascade for floral aroma are layered throughout the brewing process. West Coast IPA exemplifies the Green Flash spirit of adventure and discovery.
