Brockton IPA is a celebration of our 25th anniversary. Brewed in the style of a Pacific Northwest India Pale Ale, this refreshing IPA is golden coloured and well hopped. It’s destined to become a highlight of this great city, just like its namesake in Stanley Park.

355 ml green can (matches the bottle label pictured), brought back from latest trip to Vancouver.
From the back label: "Brockton IPA is a celebration of our 25th anniversary. Brewed in the style of a Pacific Northwest India Pale Ale, this refreshing IPA is golden coloured and well hopped. It's destined to become a highlight of this great city, just like its namesake in Stanley Park."
Pours a copper color with a full white head. Good retention and thin layers of lacing. Lots of floral and citrus hops, much more than expected. Caramel malt sweetness is there in the taste and solid enough to stand up to the hop bitterness. Good body, full enough to be satisfying, but still refreshing.
A decent IPA, flavor-filled and enjoyable.

Granville Island Brewery 'Brockton West Coast IPA' @ 6.5% , originally tasted on tap at GCBF'11 , now served from a 6pack of 355 ml cans
A-pour is gold from the tap/can to a clear gold in the glass with a medium size white head leaving a spotty lace along the tulip
S-Cascade , Amarillo & Mosaic - hops (West Coast) ??
T-crisp & clean start , malt backbone is noticeable right up to the disappointing non bitter swallow
MF-ok carbonation , big medium body
Ov-truly a disappointing west coast IPA , nuff said

Looks like a corona. Smells like froot loops. Tastes more like a hoppy pale ale than an IPA. Little body to speak of.

Crystal clear with an amber to dirty gold color. Only a few minor spots for lace.

Deep toasted malt nose. Slightly sweet. No notable hop.

Spritzy with a bittering hop bite. Fairly traditional but uncomplicated. The malt is weak as is the body. Surprisingly shorter aftertaste from the moderate hop finish.

On tap at Pinnacle Harbourfront in Vancouver. Pours a nice amber color with an eggshell-white head. Initial impression is a mild malt base and a decent dose of citrus and pine hops. Not a bomb by any means, but fairly well-balanced and refreshing.

I am shocked that this is rated so low. On draft in Banff. Exploding with hop aroma and flavor, this is a very good low malt pale ale. Side by side with other canadian pale ales, this was amazing. Very new american style
