During a holiday jaunt to Victoria, BC, I picked up a can of Spaghetti
Western Double IPA. The 473mL can featured a cowboy-togged pile of
noodles driving a wagon filled with hops, and that was enough to
convince me to bring the 8.6%, 75 IBU beer home with me. Brewed in
Vancouver, SW is made by Coal Harbour Brewing Co.
Spaghetti
Western was a slightly hazy orange grog that poured with a thin
covering of off-white head. It had a punchy, sweet evergreen flavour.
The beer had big sweets up front over a malty body and a back end chock
full of piney hops notes.
A bit too sweet in
the whole, Spaghetti Western still had great strength a bit of charm,
all wrapped up in a decidedly fun can. Glad I bought it, though I don’t
imagine I’d buy it again.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
