650ml bottle - deemed 'not an East Coast IPA, not a West Coast IPA' on the label. So, um, Canadian IPA it is?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent pitted limestone wall lace around the glass as it evenly evaporates.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, a further muddled tropical fruitiness, and more leafy, weedy, and resinous piney hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, mixed domestic citrus peel, some damp minerality, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and piney green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly meek in its milquetoast-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really present that might be a cause for concern here. It finishes trending dry, the blended hoppy essences predominating.
Overall - unfortunately, this does come off as a tad Canadian, in that it lacks the zest of either American version of the style. That's not to say that one cannot concoct bold IPAs on our side of the border, it's just sadly, this isn't one of them.
