Shark Week IPA is brewed with unique hop varieties from the Pacific Rim! Look for tropical hop aromas of passionfruit, citrus and berry. The result is a highly drinkable IPA with bright flavours, low bitterness and a slight haze in an IPA with quite a bite!

473 mL can from the LCBO, included in Cameron's I ❤️ Craft Beer mixed six pack. Coded Jun 19 2023 and served barely chilled.
Pours golden yellow, its otherwise clear complexion marred with countless flecks of flocculent sediment. It's topped with an inch of foamy white head that withers within a few minutes' time, leaving behind a plenty of stringy, messy lace; a frothy collar and patchy cap remain. Hints of orange, gooseberry and passion fruit on the nose, with suggestions of floral, grassy hops and papaya.
It's pretty tasty - flavours of passion fruit and orange at the forefront, backed by bready, wheaty pale malts and flaked oat sweetness. Hints of berries, peaches and tropical fruitiness on the back end, finishing with pithy, floral hops and mild earthy bitterness; light citrus peel and passion-fruitiness dissipate into the aftertaste. Medium in body, with fairly gentle carbonation that lollygags across the tongue; the mouthfeel is smooth and soft, with this brew's low bitterness and modest abv aiding its drinkability.
Final Grade: 3.91, a B+. Some breweries focus far too heavily on IPAs, but Cameron's has never had that problem. Although they do have a couple in their year-round portfolio, e.g. Jurassic & Cruising the Galaxy, their seasonals and specialty offerings tend to be something different. Basically what I'm saying is, they're not known for their IPAs. Shark Week is a respectable effort, but I don't think it's noticeably better than either of the IPAs I just mentioned, nor does it stand out in the exceedingly crowded field of Ontario IPAs at large. Even still, if they release this as a single, I'd probably buy it again.

I bought the mixer pack at the LCBO in Ontario Canada 473ml at 6.1%.
Poured into glass with a 1 finger head leaving a lace as you drink it.
Smooth tropical fruit flavours not overpowering with a low bitterness level making it easy to drink.
Overall a very enjoyable IPA beer.
