Tasting Notes
West Quest IPA opens with an immediate blast of citrus zest — think grapefruit, lemon peel, and candied orange — followed by deeper layers of pine, light tropical fruit, and floral hop resin. The palate is dry, brisk, and refreshingly bitter, with a lean malt backbone that lifts the hops without adding sweetness. The finish is clean and snappy, leaving behind herbal-pine echoes and the unmistakable brightness of California-grown hops.
