Dripping Pitch - West Coast IPA

A bold, bitter West Coast IPA packed with citrus, pine and classic Californian character.

Inspired by one of science's longest-running experiments, Duration Dripping Pitch West Coast IPA celebrates the ever-evolving journey of IPA. Just as the famous pitch drop experiment slowly changes over time, IPA styles continue to shift and develop with tastes, trends, and brewing innovation.

This version pays tribute to the iconic West Coast IPA style that helped shape modern craft beer. Bright citrus, zesty grapefruit and resinous pine leap from the glass, supported by a lean malt backbone that allows the hops to take centre stage. Crisp, clean and unapologetically bitter, Dripping Pitch delivers a refreshing blast of Californian-inspired flavour from the heart of Norfolk.

For lovers of classic hop-forward beers, this is a welcome return to a style defined by balance, bitterness and drinkability.
