West Ghost IPA from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is a FOMO limited-release beer. My father purchased it from their brewery in Mills River, North Carolina. This IPA is 7.2% ABV and has Magnum, Idaho 7, Citra, and Amarillo hops. This beer also has Two-Row, Pale, and Carapils malts. This IPA is a throwback to a time before all the hazy IPA crazy. This beer pours a golden color with a three-finger big white head. The head is slow to fade into decent lacing. The aroma is hoppy, with orange zest, pine, and bitterness. The flavor is fruity with citrusy oranges, bitterness, hoppy, and it’s piney taste. This beer has brightness to its flavor. The mouthfeel is on the lighter side, but I don’t think I would call it a light or medium-feeling beer. This IPA comes to a bitter finish with some oranges. Then you come to a fruity, bitter aftertaste of pine flavor. West Ghost IPA is a classic West Coast IPA. This beer is an A. It is a sneaky beer because it doesn’t feel like a 7.2% ABV beer when you drink it. But I do recommend West Ghost IPA. It has a classic flavor. Please stay safe, be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
