5 Years Later


Had one of these at the weekend, it's a West Coast style IPA from Siren and Green Cheek (USA) that was first brewed in 2020 (i.e. five years ago) that version hit the dizzy heights of #2 in my beers of the year. This is the second re-brewing by Siren the first being in 2023 when the a tweaked recipe reached #14 on my list that year, the competition for Westys was fierce that year though. This version is more like the original, perhaps a tad more bitter but none the worse for it, classic West Coast flavours and utterly drinkable, it'll be interesting to see where it comes on the list this year, or will it even make it at all? It's been a stellar year for outstanding collaborations in the craft beer scene so far!
