SURE was born out of a desire to brew the styles the brewing company’s founders loved to drink, and like almost anyone who's been in the beer industry for the past decade and more, John Cope-Williams and Steven Matthews love West Coast IPAs. 100% Dynamight is a celebration of what the pair most enjoy in such beers: the lean backdrop of malt, the aromatics that leap from the glass, and the bitter finish holding things together.
The beer uses Citra, Chinook and Strata to attain those hop aromatics, blasting out sherbet orange, grapefruit, resinous pine, passionfruit and melon. It means there's a fair few flavours vying for your attention but rather impressively they manage to coexist without clashing. The same can be said about the beer’s lean malt base, with touch of biscuit flavour that soon vanishes as those hop-derived flavours and bitterness do what they've been doing in cracking WCIPAs for years.
