The team at Mr Banks have picked up many fans with hazy release after hazy release so how do you think the brewery might approach a West Coast IPA? With a healthy helping of haze of course. To be fair, Dawn Patrol isn’t any ordinary West Coast, it’s a DDH West Coast DIPA and, when you've got that many letters, no style guide should dictate how your beer looks.
Embark on your own Dawn Patrol and within the yellow and opaque liquid, you'll discover a smooth mouthfeel which lands the beer within hazy territory too. Hopped heartily with Centennial, Amarillo and Mosaic, a combination that steers clear of tropical fruits to sit more comfortably in the citrus camp, it's the appearance of resinous pine and a potent bitterness that ensure, if you close your eyes, you could indeed find yourself ending up on the West Coast.
