Ghost Town Dead Air West Coast IPA Review
Ghost Town Brewing delivers another hard-hitting classic with Dead Air, a bold West Coast IPA packaged in a 16 oz can. Known for their uncompromising approach to hop-forward brewing, Ghost Town crafts this release to deliver the ultimate balance of punchy bitterness, dank resin, and bright aromatics that define the modern West Coast style.
Appearance & Aroma
Pouring a clear, brilliant gold with a thick, frothy white head that leaves delicate lacing down the glass, Dead Air looks every bit the traditional West Coast IPA. The aroma is a massive sensory hit of sticky pine resin, crushed grapefruit peel, dank herbal undertones, and a bright splash of tropical fruit.
Taste & Mouthfeel
On the palate, Dead Air offers an assertive and impeccably clean flavor profile.
-
Hop Character: Features a vibrant wave of citrus zest, pine needles, and punchy bitterness that satisfies hop purists without ever feeling overly abrasive.

Malt Profile: Built on a lean, supportive malt bill that keeps the focus squarely on the explosive hop characteristics.
-
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with crisp, lively carbonation leading to a dry, incredibly refreshing finish.
The Verdict
