Torrey Pines IPA
A little sweet. A little hoppy.
The Beer
Torrey Pines IPA
Brewed by Left Coast Brewery, San Clemente, CA
6.9% alcohol
Style: India Pale Ale
Our Take
We found this beer to have a bright fruity citrus flavor with a sweet malty and just slightly bitter hoppy finish. If you are used to the typical aggressive West Coast style of IPA’s then there’s a chance you’ll this find Torrey Pines IPA a bit on the weak side, that being said I think this would be a great beer for someone who wants to get into IPA’s but can’t yet really down something as hoppy (aka bitter) as an Arrogant Bastard. I found this beer to be quite drinkable and think it might appeal more to casual beer drinkers than to hardcore IPA fans. Rating 3.9/5
I live in Belgium, beer-country of the world, so, if ever you would get the chance to visit Belgium I solemnly swear I will introduce you to all our beers (you’ll have to stay for a month then)
(very big fan of your website)

I dream of drinking my way through Belgium one day and I would love to be guided by a knowledgeable local like yourself, Karen! (ps – thanks so much for the compliments!)
