Shapeshifter Brewing Golden Ratio

As a general rule, West Coasts have become leaner and leaner but (unlike many of their beers), Shapeshifter’s core range IPA isn’t about looking at what's new. No, Golden Ratio is about looking towards the past, with the throwback an orange IPA with plenty of malt notes to match the hops.

When it comes to hops, those are Warrior, Cascade, Sequoia and Germany’s less-often-seen Herkules. That mix provides aromas of ripe orange and pine that runs down the back of the palate before a bit of caramel sweetness is struck away by a bitter and dry finish.
