Featured Beer Review – LA – In the Fronds Tropical IPA from Los Angeles Ale Works

I really like the plant shop vibe from this Los Angeles Ale Works can label. The shimmery silver and the greens are popping. Plus the name is spot on for a tropically tinged beer.

This beer is bursting with pineapple. I cracked the can and it was rushing with that distinctive aroma. That pineapple follows through into the taste but interestingly there is a significant hop bite here. Very West Coast IPA in temperament. It is a super light yellow color though. Contradictions aplenty but it is a really fine IPA.

Los Angeles Ale Works has one last can release for 2021. And, yes, I am posting about it in 2022.

“In the Fronds (Tropical IPA, 7.5%) has all the hazy, juicy, characteristics you love – mango bubblegum, papaya, Sauvignon Blanc grapes, a hint of citrus – without the haze.”
