An IPA

With a very descriptive, yet generic name, An IPA w/Galaxy, Simcoe & Mosaic Hops tells you exactly what you can expect. Built by the team at Bellwoods Brewery in Toronto, An IPA is a muscle-bound 7.3% IPA sold in cool 473mL cans. It’s an extremely hazy orange ale with a modest dusting of white suds.

 
An IPA has a bouquet that blends tropical and citrus fruits—notably orange, pineapple, and melon. The flavour trends is the same direction, with a veritable fruit salad on display, but also backed with an undeniable booze heat and a citrus-heavy bitterness.

This high percentage take on a hazy IPA is definitely my kind of beer. An IPA is juicy and flavourful, but unapologetically strong, too. It’s a winner in my books. My only critique is I’d have liked the bitter back end to be a bit amplified.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
