Where the Hero Hazy IPA goes tropical and soft, the West Coast IPA takes a different direction — cleaner, drier, more classically bitter. Basqueland have used Citra and Mosaic here, a pairing that's become shorthand for quality American hop character, and the West Coast format means those flavours come through crisp rather than pillowy. The result is a clear, golden beer with a proper dry finish. There's citrus peel, a touch of pine resin, and the kind of firm bitterness that actually lingers rather than disappearing immediately. For a 0.5% beer, that's not trivial — the malt base is light enough to let the hops do the work without tipping into thin. This is the one to reach for if you find hazy IPAs a bit heavy-handed. It's structured, direct, and drinks more like a craft beer should than many AF alternatives at this price point. At 26 kcal per 100ml it's also one of the lighter options in the IPA category.
