This all-Australian IPA is heavily dry-hopped with Vic Secret and Topaz resulting in a beer that is super juicy and bursting with dank, tropical fruit flavours. Expect notes of mango, pineapple, passionfruit and papaya.
Full-bodied and flavourful, with lively carbonation. It’s another showstopper.

473 mL can from the LCBO, included in Bobcaygeon's Summer IPA Sampler mixed pack; no canning date and served barely chilled.
Pours a turbid, hazy marmalade orange-yellow colour, generating two fingers of tight, foamy white head that retreats within three minutes or so. A generous collar of soapy, frothy suds is left surrounding a bubbly cap, with a respectable curtain of lace draped across the glass. Appealing yet understated aromas of mandarin orange, pineapple juice, pine resin and mango, with kind of a syrupy-sweet fruit cup thing going on, too.
A flavourful IPA that emphasizes tropical fruit notes - I'm getting pineapple, passion fruit, orange and papaya, with lesser notes of wheaty, bready malts and cantaloupe. Pine resin and dank, herbal hops assert themselves towards the finish, lasting into a spicy, resiny aftertaste that contrasts from the fruity forefront. Medium-full in body, with low carbonation and a soft, plush mouthfeel that makes for a very drinkable pale ale.
Final Grade: 3.96, a B+. I really enjoyed my glass of Southern Lights - the hop profile stands out as being relatively unique: fruity and juicy at the forefront, then dank and resiny later on. It's a little more bitter than your average NEIPA, but not enough to really affect the experience all that much, or at least I didn't feel that way. Worth a shot - much like their Northern Lights, I think this is worth shelving at the LCBO in single format.
