Process

How it gets to the glass.

  1. 01

    Clean West Coast malt base — pale 2-row with a touch of Munich for color, no caramel sweetness — built to support hop intensity without competing.

  2. 02

    Citra, El Dorado, and Strata in the kettle for tropical fruit character. Heavy dry hop on the cold side for piney resin notes. Bittered to a classic West Coast finish.
