The “West Corner” label underscores its place at the intersection (“corner”) of traditional west coast hop style and the Southern California craft-beer landscape: vibrant, expressive, and anchored in California craft sensibility. It stands out not only for drinkability but also for enough hop character to satisfy enthusiasts. For those looking for a well-crafted West Coast IPA with a coastal California spin — grapefruit and pineapple notes, bright hops, refreshing finish — this beer is a solid pick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Option1","offer_id":51257914818845,"sku":null,"price":2.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/2797\/6477\/files\/img_010194_3c21ad28-0471-4b80-9914-83d107fe79f0.jpg?v=1778150292","url":"https:\/\/purewinestore.com\/products\/crossing-wizard-west-corner-ipa-duck-foot-brewing-vino-rosso8-f23-p229","provider":"purewinestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
