Garage Beer Co. Santako

Santako has evolved from another of Garages recent West Coasts, Plasticity, but they have replaced the Cascade portion of the dry hop with Amarillo to push the orangey citrus character further. Combined with Citra, Simcoe and Columbus the aroma immediately presents plenty of dank pine resin, orange and grapefruit zest and some slight peachiness.

The initial taste follows with more citrus and a little kiss of sweetness before finishing with a dry and firm bitterness that doesn't overstep the mark. The body is on the leaner, drier side yet with the little addition of a very light caramel malt, a slight sweet touch blends with the bitter finish to give some of that sticky, oily, resinous character that we all love in West Coast IPAs.

This is a west coast IPA designed with drinkability in mind and what's more it's even Gluten Free!
