This IPA is a collaboration for our 8th anniversary with Badlands Brewing out of Ontario. Badlands is currently making some of the best if the not the best IPAs in Canada. This beer has been brewed with their house yeast as well a super healthy dose of some amazing hops sourced from Freestyle Hops.

Pale and slightly dullish yellow, opaque. Looks more Backcountry than Badlands, in that respect. The aroma pops bright and orangey, with some of those more honeyish NZ accents. On the palate, there's some hop burn and the expression is neither as bright nor as defined. There's a pretty strong alcohol taste as well, somewhat unexpected in a regular IPA.
That's too bad - a bit more restraint would have allowed the same hop as in the aroma show through on the palate. The Backcountry base malt is there, but yeah, sometimes the note you don't play is more important than the one you do.

Poured from the tap @ Darby's. Murky pale yellow with small white head. Lots of juicy tropical hops, just a feint hint of hop burn. Quite nice.
