My first experience with Fairweather Brewing Co. was their flagship IPA,
High Grade. Sold in pretty 500mL bottles, HG clocks in at 6.8% and is
billed as being juicy, dank, and tropical. This Hamiltonian ale has a
hazy look, a dull gold hue, and a covering of sudsy off-white head.
HG
has a lush, tropical fruit aroma, rich in pineapple and passion fruit
notes. It also has a sticky, resinous quality. The flavour, which is
ample, has OJ and piña on the front end, and a modestly bitter back end.
This
is a solid hazy IPA—flavourful, stanky, and very nice. It’s balanced
between sweet and bitter in a way that is often missing from over-sweet
hazies. Definitely recommended.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
