Born in Toronto’s west end, Etobichoker Double Belgian IPA is named in honour of Great Lakes Brewery’s location. The 8.1% ale comes in 473mL cans with a lurid Frankenstein’s monster/Halloween motif. The beer itself is orange gold and pours with a fluffy eggshell head. It incorporates both oats and wheat into the brewing process.
For a strong beer, Etobichoker has a fairly mild aroma, highlighted with tangy apple, funky yeast, and evergreen. The flavour harmonizes Belgian-style yeastiness with loads of pine bitterness. There is lots of boozy sweetness, as well as some crisp orchard fruit elements.
Etobichoker was a quirky offering from GLB. A nice hybrid beer, with good strength and a nice flavour. It’s a little too sweet for me, but otherwise solid.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
