BrewDog – Native Son West Coast DIPA

Description

The brainchild of their Head of Production Jason Pond, and one of his first two recipes after joining the good ship BrewDog. Dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Centennial, it has a superb combination of tropical and citrus fruit, with huge fresh grassy notes, and a big savoury smack of dank hop. Native Son clocks in at double IPA strength, but has effortless drinkability, with crystal malt providing light complexity and a shred of sweetness.

About the brewery

The lads from up north of the wall (Hadrian's, that is) burst onto the UK craft beer scene back in 2007 and rapidly become known as brewers of top-quality beers, challenging traditional British beery definitions. Their enthusiasm for creating innovative, highly-experimental beers is matched only by their penchant for in-your-face, irreverent marketing. If you don't like it, who gives a s**t?
