Eagle Bay Brewing Co has teamed up with Perth bottleshop group Grain Cru for the third consecutive year to release the Dank Collaborative Experience West Coast IPA. This collaboration continues the brewery's tradition of partnering with local beer enthusiasts to create unique single-series beers.
Beer Profile
The new version features Cryo Columbus hops as the star, complemented by Cryo Mosaic, and dip hopped with Cryo Chinook and Cryo Columbus. It is then dry-hopped with Cryo Mosaic, resulting in a dank flavor profile with 62 IBUs (International Bitterness Units) and a lower ABV of 5.8% for easy drinkability.
Tasting Notes
Upon opening, the beer releases intense resinous pine aromas, followed by grapefruit, citrus, and pineapple notes. It pours a deep golden amber color with excellent clarity and a thick frothy white head. The first sip reveals firm bitterness, balanced by a touch of malt sweetness. The addition of Blackberry Kush Terpenes adds an earthy, grassy profile with a sticky mouthfeel, leading to a clean finish.
Availability and Price
The Dank Collaborative West Coast IPA is available for a limited time at Eagle Bay Brewing Co and Grain Cru's bottleshops in Carlisle, Jolimont, and Victoria Park. Each can costs $7.99.
