West Wave is Midnight Project's take on the West Coast IPA, built around two modern hop varieties: Idaho 7 and Mosaic. This is a beer that lets both characters shine—Idaho 7 brings fresh, citrus-forward energy, while Mosaic adds its own floral and fruity dimension. At 6.5% ABV, the beer feels balanced and approachable despite the generous hop load.

The nose is distinctly fruity and spicy, with clear citrus notes. The palate follows suit with the same fresh, fruit-driven character, supported by a pleasant bitterness that never overwhelms. This is a straightforward, well-executed West Coast IPA that demonstrates what two complementary hop varieties can achieve together.
