Wipeout IPA

Port Brewing

"Welcome to Sea World, Kid!"

7.0% ABV

Reviewed by RD

Centennial IPA

Founders Brewing Company

Delivers on so many levels.

7.2% ABV

Reviewed by RD

Colour: This pours a deep orange, pretty much crystal clean and well filtered. Large soapy bubbles create a foamy white head that retained for quite some time.

Nose: The aroma is initially sweet and full of fresh hops. Citrus accents with tangerines, some pine but certainly [...click the heading to read more]

Vuur & Vlam

Brouwerij de Molen

Fire & Flame! Well, thats what the google translator told me.

6.2% ABV

Reviewed by RD

Colour: From my experience De Molen beers are quite heavily bottle conditioned with lots of sediment, so pouring about three glasses full doesn’t usually result in crystal clear servings of ale. I was very careful in pouring and achieved [...click the heading to read more]

Green Gold = Hops… I think?

7.0% ABV

Sierra Nevada

Arm torpedos for launch!

7.2% ABV

Reviewed by MT

Colour: This pours a clear golden syrup colour with a fluffy playful head on it.

Nose: Spicy orange hops with sweet caramel undertones. In a nutshell this is the kind of aroma you’d expect from a strong, robust, American IPA.

Bitter End Brewing Co.

At the bitter end of things it's quite refreshing!

Reviewed by MT

5.5% ABV

Colour: Clear copper colour with a little inkling of a white head on top.

Nose: A wonderfully earthy pine hop nose (probably from Simcoe hops? I hear they bring out this kind of thing?).

Taste: Really refreshing and matching what I had [...click the heading to read more]

This may be the best IPA I've ever had…if not its pretty close!

A very palatable, easy drinking IPA

Reviewed by RD

Colour: Beautiful clear pale amber body with a brief and fizzy off white head. Nice level of carbonation.
