Hailing from Portland Oregon, Great Notion Brewing has built its name on bold, hop-forward beers. The Army of Dankness West Coast IPA joins their lineup as a tribute to the classic West Coast IPA style — clean, crisp and unapologetically dank. According to the brewery, it’s “dry hopped with Mosaic, Nectaron, and Chinook and finished with Mosaic Dynaboost.” Designed to deliver piney hop character, citrus lift and full flavor, it brings Great Notion’s craft-beer flair into the realm of the western-style IPA.

Tasting Notes
Expect upfront aromas of tangerine, grapefruit and perhaps a hint of passionfruit – bright citrus meets a light tropical touch. On the palate, the Mosaic and Nectaron hops deliver flavors of citrus peel, pine resin and sage-like herbal undercurrents, while Chinook brings that classic West Coast backbone of pine and crisp bitterness. The finish is clean, moderately dry, with lingering resinous hop character and a crisp exit that begs for another pour. It strikes a strong balance between hop-intensity and drinkability.
