Hello, LA is a seasonal West Coast IPA from Highland Park Brewery, brewed as a clean and expressive showcase of modern hop character. It features Mosaic, Simcoe, and Chinook hops, a combination known for citrus brightness, pine resin, and subtle tropical layers.
The beer pours a clear, light-gold color with a persistent white head, reflecting the classic West Coast style without haziness. On the aroma, dominant notes include lemon zest, grapefruit and pine, followed by lighter hints of pineapple and stone fruit.
The flavor is crisp and direct, starting with a firm hoppy bitterness that quickly transitions into a dry, refreshing finish. The mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied, making the beer very drinkable despite its pronounced hop expression.
Hello, LA focuses on balance - showcasing bitterness without overwhelming the palate, and aroma without extra sweetness. The fermentation profile is intentionally clean, allowing the hops to remain at the forefront.
This beer reflects Highland Park Brewery’s brewing philosophy: fresh, focused and quality-driven rather than dependent on flashy adjuncts. Pairing works well with citrus-marinated chicken, fish tacos, or spicy noodles, where the bitterness cuts through fat and emphasizes acidity.
Hello, LA represents Highland Park’s view of the Los Angeles craft scene - energetic, straightforward, and rooted in simplicity done right.
