Yakima I.P.A.

Microbrasserie Le Castor, out of Rigaud, Quebec, is the source of Yakima I.P.A., a 6.5%, 75 IBU hopster. Brought to me by my pal K.C., this little brew is certified organic. It’s a hazy, dull gold beer that pours with a sudsy white head.

Le Castor’s Yak has a mild, citrus and hops scent. The flavour has some evergreen notes nestled among grapefruit and juicy lemon, giving way to an agreeably gritty bitter finish.

A quality IPA out of QC, Le Castor’s Yakima is a bitter and jazzy brew that I quite enjoyed. The beer came in a 660mL and I found myself pining for more. The only real knock against it is the thin mouthfeel.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
