Beer Review: Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Dog Disco Unfiltered West Coast IPA
Sante Adairius Rustic Ales (SARA), located in Capitola, California, is known for their focus on barrel-aged sours and Belgian-style saisons, making “Dog Disco” a noteworthy release as an unfiltered West Coast IPA.
Appearance:
Pours a slightly hazy, deep golden-orange with a creamy, persistent white head.
Aroma:
Bright and dank. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, and passion fruit are balanced by classic West Coast pine resin and subtle earthy notes.
Flavor:
The palate is hit with a citrus punch—notes of orange peel and zesty grapefruit dominate, followed by a light tropical sweetness. Mid-palate, an assertive bitterness balances the hop-forward character, culminating in a clean, slightly resinous, and dry finish.
Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. Despite being unfiltered, it drinks crisp, avoiding any heavy yeast presence.
SARA proves their mastery beyond sours. This is a standout unfiltered West Coast IPA, delivering bright, layered, and complex hop flavors while maintaining the style’s signature crisp and balanced character. A refreshing and incredibly satisfying beer.
