Tupac East vs. West: West Coast IPA is a 6.9%, 60 IBU ale from Kingston, Ontario’s Daft Brewing. It is made with Cascade, El Dorado, and Simcoe hops and it comes in a 650mL bottle. Tupac is a clear, copper ale with a lush white head.
Tupac has a robust aroma
characterized by citrus and pine notes and an assertive malt presence.
As you’d expect from a west coast IPA, the flavour has bitter grapefruit
and evergreen qualities in generous measure and a malty, coppery
sweetness that provides some balance.
Tupac is a
sticky, bitter IPA and I enjoyed it quite a bit—it was a touch too
sweet, perhaps, but still definitely enjoyable. I’d say it’s a well made
and to-style West Coaster.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
