West Coast Hop Boots 2024 : Appearance
Poured out a hazy golden straw colour with a plump white head on top that faded to a thin ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass, leaving streaks as the beer went down.
West Coast Hop Boots 2024 : Aroma
Complex fruity aroma – so much going on in the beer that it was hard to pick out indivudual flavours. Lashings of stone fruits with citrus papaya notes, alongside tropical notes of mango and pineapple. Touch of sweetness from the malt present but no yeast or off notes. As it warms, there is a hint of peach too. Like I said, complex.
West Coast Hop Boots 2024 : Taste
As in the aroma, the flavour profile to the beer is multilayered. It started off with grapefruit and lemon, alongside some mango and pineapple flavours. The stone fruit notes came though as the beer warmed up, with hints of peach and an unusual jasmine note to the beer. There was an underlying sweetness to it all but no alcohol heat of off flavours.
West Coast Hop Boots 2024 : The Bottom Line
I really liked this beer and would be happy to drink another couple of cans of this – if it can be found.
