Ghost Town Brewing – “Loathsome” West Coast IPA
Overview & Visuals
Pouring into a traditional shaker glass, this fierce West Coast IPA presents a brilliant, clear golden-amber hue topped with a thick, pillowy white head that laces the glass gracefully as it settles.
Aromas
The nose explodes with an aggressive and dank punch of aromatic pine resin, zesty grapefruit peel, and sun-warmed cannabis undertones. Bright tropical splashes of mango and crushed lime sneak in right behind the resinous backbone, offering an aromatic profile that is unapologetically bold.
Palate & Mouthfeel
On the palate, it delivers a masterclass in classic, uncompromising West Coast bitterness. Waves of sharp citrus pith, sticky pine needles, and subtle stone fruit roll across the tongue, anchored by a dry, crackery, and utterly clean malt base. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied with a crisp, highly effervescent carbonation that dries out nicely on the finish, leaving a lingering, resinous hop bite that demands another sip.
The Verdict
Ghost Town has crafted another absolute banger with Loathsome. It leans heavily into old-school West Coast aggression while maintaining the precision and clarity that modern hop heads crave.
