“What have you got for IPAs?”
This Northwest IPA packs a wallop of citrusy, hoppy goodness, a crisp finish, and enough IBUs to keep curly-moustached beer “gurus” coming back for more. Manbuns sold separately.

A beer from hometown in Northern British Columbia shows up in Edmonton - gotta buy….
Pours a clear vibrant golden with two fingers of puffy tight white snow cap head.
Nose is malty up front with cereal notes, hint of caramel and nice aromas of citrus and piney hops.
Up front sweet cereal malt on the palate that quickly is overwhelmed by grapefruit, grapefruit peel, some piney and floral notes with a bright building bitterness.
Medium mouthfeel with nice carbonation and a moderately aggressive coating and lingering bitterness.
Perhaps a bit of bias from nostalgic memories from my younger self’s home, but really liked this.
