Though known for wild yeast, fruited and barrel-aged sours and farmhouse ales, Little Beast Brewing, is releasing Maiden West IPA as their new seasonal. This West Coast style IPA will be released in 16 oz 4-pack cans beginning Saturday, January 18 at the Little Beast Brewing Beer Garden, and throughout the brewery’s retail network on the West Coast. 

More from a press release:

“In the Pacific Northwest there aren’t many beers that embody our ethos quite as well as the West Coast IPA,” said Little Beast Brewing co-founder and brewmaster, Charles Porter. “We modeled our Maiden West IPA after my favorite versions of the style, giving it a beautiful balance between bitterness, hop aroma, and malt sweetness.”

Maiden West pours a beautiful clear orangish-yellow with a bright white foam. The beer displays a complex, resinous hop flavor and lingering bitterness from Amarillo, Simcoe, and El Dorado hops, with a harmonious balance of Pilsner malt character. Dry-hopped with Citra and Simcoe, the beer also has a strong citrus bouquet.

Maiden West replaces Treasure Hunter, a dry-hopped sour ale, and is available alongside Fólkvangr Norwegian Farmhouse Ale until the Spring.
