Crooked Stave x Comrade Brewing x Cannonball 'C3' West Coast Style IPA, Colorado

Some beers are born from one brewer’s vision, but C3 West Coast Style IPA was built on the collective creativity of three Colorado brewing powerhouses. Crafted by Crooked Stave, Comrade Brewing, and Cannonball Creek, this collaboration showcases a shared love for bold hops and classic West Coast character, bringing together expertise from Denver to Golden in a single, hop-charged pour.

Product Details:

• Style: West Coast IPA
• ABV: 7%
• IBU: N/A

Sensory Description:

Bright golden in the glass, this IPA delivers a crisp, lean malt backbone that lets the hops shine. Aromas of citrus zest, pine resin, and tropical fruit leap forward, thanks to a blend of Citra and Chinook layered with cryo hops for amplified intensity.
