spikestrobe - california ipa

California is a dream destination for many, luring visitors with countless attractions. This sunny state on the west coast of the United States is primarily known for its miles of sandy beaches, but there’s plenty to see and experience even beyond the palm-fringed coastline. Several cities with a population of over a million invite you to visit with their culture, cuisine, and sights. Expansive national parks can be explored by bike, canoe, or on foot. You can marvel at the world’s tallest trees, drive through deserts, and enjoy not only local highlights but also a variety of cultural and culinary influences from around the world. California is a whole attitude to life, which the team at the Blech.Brut brewery strives to capture in their latest beer creation.

Spikestrobe is a California IPA that evokes California flair with a brisk 7.0% ABV and a flood of tropical notes courtesy of Citra Cryo and Mosaic hops. The brewery affectionately calls its creation "sunshine in a can," and this fits the bill.

This Californian dream smells and tastes intensely of sun-drenched citrus and a whole basket of exotic fruits. The fruity tide is balanced by a clear, straightforward bitterness. This irresistible combination of summery fruitiness and resinous bitterness makes Spikestrobe dangerously drinkable and leaves us wanting more.
