So here I am in Vancouver, the Northwest for those South East of the city, and sipping suds. Brew number six in our Vancouver tour de force. And just like the Beatles, I was looking at a Hard Day’s Night.* But what better cure for a hard day than an open bar I always say.** How about red truckin’ with a Hard Day IPA, by the bay. A Northwest IPA no less, from the Northwest, could be the best, let’s put it to the test. Rhyming tires me out, beer me.***
A clear golden pour with a full head of steam. The aroma of a full 5 hop sky high IBU pine bough slap brew. But sometimes the nose only knows what the nose knows, don’t you know. It turns out the taste is a light bubbly easy drinking IPA. A bit of hops and a bit of citrus, all well balanced, and refreshing. A full hoppy aroma leads into a very accessible IPA.
I expected a hop fest but what we get is an easy drinking aromatic and enjoyable, well-balanced NW IPA.
