Western Suds: Broken Islands Hazy IPA


Adorned with islands, orcas, and a lighthouse, a 355mL can of Broken Islands Hazy IPA came my way via my pals KF and JR. It’s a 6% alcohol beer by Vancouver Island Brewing. A hazy brew, Broken Islands is possessed of lively carbonation, a frothy white head, and a pleasant golden hue.

Broken Islands has a zesty scent that blends tropical fruit notes with dank hops. The beer has a velvety smooth mouthfeel. Its flavour is juicy. Sweet initially, there is a hoppy, resinous finish.

This hazy IPA had a lovely aroma and a beautiful mouthfeel. It was a a bit thin on the ground in terms of flavour, though, and a bit more booze could’ve helped in to the next level.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
