A tribute to Alexander Keith’s leadership of the Atlantic Freemasons, this hop-forward ale balances the dominant notes of citrus and grapefruit of the aromatic Centennial hop with rich malt and a robust bitterness. It may be exclusive, but it won’t be a secret for long.

Saw this one in the local paper, advertising a 50 IBU instead of their regular IPA at 17 IBU. Pours a clean amber colour with a small off-white cap, and a bit of lacing. Light fruity malt nose with very mild hop. Decent mouthfeel with some stickiness and some dryness. Fruity malt taste with mild hop again, light roasted malt and bitterness in the finish. Grain eventually comes out. One of the better Keith’s products, getting closer to a real IPA (but still lacking some attack). At least, no corn was felt in this one like most of their beers.
