Another year, another DIPA from Canmore Brewing. They’re getting very good at these. I count myself lucky for having had the opportunity to taste this right out from the tank a couple days before the official release. The first thing that hit me was that in no way did it come across as 8% ABV, which while dangerous, is overall a good thing for balance. Flavour wise I was hit with honeydew right away, along with some grapefruit. On the finish there is a touch of that pine resin like aroma and a very mild bitterness. If this style of IPA is to stick around, this is the way to do it.
