District Brewing has produced this beer as if to pose the question “Have IPA’s gone too far?”.
Now this is not a true English beer, its brewed in Regina after all, and uses modern hops of Simcoe, Citra, Centennial, and Cascade. It is note-worthy though that these hops were developed by crossings of traditional English hops like Fuggles and Goldings. So, English-ish, made in a traditional style with modern successors of traditional hops. The resultant beer is a dark caramel colour, but totally translucent. At 6.3% ABV it is above a Pale, but not quite the 7+% IPA’s common today, this too is much more characteristic of a historic IPA. As for flavour you can expect a nice balance between woodsy pine aromas and bitter citrus peel.
