No fewer than 7 hops combine for a veritable forest of piney notes in this highly drinkable 4.5% West Coast Session Pale. Made with our friends at SPAR, you’re going to want to make like a tree and leaf none on the shelf for anyone else.
Poured a hazy gold and the aroma hit me with seven distinct hop layers—each sip brings another piney note forward without any harsh bitterness. At 4.5% it’s light enough that I finished a couple before dinner and still felt good.
The 4.5% ABV makes it dangerously easy to crush a few, but those seven hops really do deliver a piney forest in every sip. Pour was clean and the bitterness stayed crisp without being harsh. Perfect session beer for a backyard hangout.
Cracked this open after a long hike and the piney hop kick hit just right for a 4.5% sessioner. It’s dangerously easy to put away a few, and the West Coast bitterness stays clean without wearing you out.
