A lot has changed with West Coast IPA over the last several decades – West Coast IPAs today are quite different from the caramelly, excessively bitter west coast IPAs of the past. Now they are crispy, brightly flavored beers with a balanced and firm bitterness, no caramel malt, and lots of modern hop flavor. Here are my top 5 tips to help you make your best version!

I really think using a lager yeast for these modern West coasts can make an important contribution
@theapartmentbrewer all good tips! do you have a favorite recipe to go by? Specific details like even additions for dropping pH would be great!
Although while partly true, I do not like the no Cara trend. Most westies got extremely boring since they only use a max of 5% Munich.
A good dry hopped beer usually masks the Strecker Aldehydes pretty good. Unless the brewer is sluggish at packaging the stalling shouldn’t be a concern. Problem most brewers have horrendous TPO values…they either do not know what TPO is, do not know how to calculate it (you still need pretty expensive equipment to get the TDI in the first.place) or they just do not care about all the places oxygen enters the product
Use sugar to help get a drier beer around 10%
Brut IPA a subset of West Coast? Yay, or nay?
