IBU: 55
What's on the Website: "Our West Coast IPA is quintessentially refreshing, with sharp hop flavors and balanced bitterness. Citrusy and herbal at the same time thanks to Simcoe and Citra hops, the palate offers stonefruit and a biscuit backbone before ending with resinous, mouthwatering 55 IBUs of hop bitterness."
Where distributed: Ola Brew distributes to Hawaii and Southern California.
Smell (25%): Resinous hop, with stone fruit/citrus and biscuity malt backbone. 4.25/5
Taste (40%): Resinous pine and stone fruit/citrus upfront. Some sips seem to add a grape or berry-like experience. Sweet citrus and citrus peel on the aftertaste. Citrus hop bitterness lingers. All bold flavors that works well with each other. 4.25/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; some carbonation. Some dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. A tasty, mostly straightforward West Coast-style IPA that's done right. The Hawaii beer scene has grown over the years. Ola is an employee-owned, community-owned spot, so just from that, you gotta support this place. 4.25/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.25/5
