After hops are processed into pellets, a magical sticky substance is left behind stuck to the walls of the machine. This substance know as “Hop Hash” is scraped off and collected as it’s made up of pure hop lupulin (that dank, aromatic, resiny stuff). We’ve used Idaho 7 hop hash combined with pilsner, vienna, and wheat malt to create one of the dankest of dank Double IPA’s.

I like IIPAs and this was a good one. Rated about 7 years ago on a trip to British Columbia and stopped at the brewery.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store, with 'Yabba Dabba Bradyoo' inscribed on the tag - Jay, you always astound me, dude!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and yet somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some aggressive waveform lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of grainy and crackery pale malt, some sort of weird citrusy character (Idaho 7, maybe?), mixed tropical fruity notes, and further leafy, weedy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, some mixed and matched domestic citrus and more exotic fruity notes, a bit of sticky pine resin, and more herbal, dank (sort of), and musty verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite affable in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, as nothing really deigns to mess around here, as such. It finishes off-dry, the hops dialing it down a bit, while the malt takes an equally well-earned breather.
Overall, this is a rather enjoyable and approachable version of the style, as the 17-proof booziness does well to keep to itself, essentially (though this is hardly the 'dankest of dank', as everyone and their dog are claiming lately). Other than that, things come off as kind of plain, but that's not really a concern to me now, not when my ex-wife is at her bitchiest last-minute self - so I'm glad to have another serving of this, amirite?

Powell St. Brewery 'Hop Hash DIPA' @ 8.5% , served from a 650 ml bottle purchased for $8
A-pour is a light gold from the bottle to a clear gold in the glass with a medium white head leaving a streaky lace along the pint
S-oh so hoppey
T-smooth tasting even a decent malt base , butt hash/oil & a dry finish dominate
MF-good carbonation , full bodied
Ov-good beer
