Introduction

Light Up Gold is the West Coast IPA you’ve been looking for — a beer that blends crisp dryness with vibrant hop character for a clean, refreshing finish. Bold bitterness meets citrusy and piney aromatics, giving it presence without heaviness.

Flavour Profile

Expect bright citrus and resinous pine on the nose, matched with a clean, dry palate and bold hop bitterness. The finish is super crisp and refreshing — perfect for days when you want something assertive but balanced. 

How It Was Made

Light Up Gold was brewed with a simple malt backbone to allow hops to shine, then balanced for a clean fermentation and finish. The malt bill supports the bold hop choices, while fermentation and conditioning were dialled in for clarity and crispness. 

Process highlights

• Clean malt foundation for hop expression
• Generous use of classic and contemporary hop varietals
• Crisp, dry conditioning for a clean finish

Why it matters: The focus on clean, crisp fermentation and hop clarity creates a West Coast IPA that’s bold but balanced — bright, dry, and refreshing with a satisfying bitterness.
