S.L.A.S.M. is our most Aromatic IPA. This India Pale Ale is very reminiscent of the hop’s cousin in the Mulberry family. Lots of hop aroma with just the right amount of bitterness as we like to keep balance around here. Between the secret blend of the most DANK hops we can get our hands on and a "more than healthy" dose of double dry hopping, this beer can be announced to the nose from across the room that someone is definitely having a Safety Meeting.

Not sure how this beer gets its smoky backbone, but I sure do like it. Big, juicy resinous hops take the forefront, pine and grapefruit and weed on top of a big sticky caramel bun with an unexpected dose of char on the finish. Dry and bitter, with a dank green nose and no trace of the 9% ABV. Nice DIPA.

hazy dark orange to amber colour, medium sized creamy yellowish off-white head; aroma of tropical fruits, pine resin, biscuits, floral notes and marmalade; perfectly balanced bittersweetness with marmalade, tropical fruity notes, biscuits, honey, pine resin and hints of boiled vegetables; excellent IIPA

12 oz. bottle, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, toasted caramel, and lots of fruity esters. Flavour brings out a huge spicy and earthy hop quality, with a fair degree of dankness, and toasted dry caramel malt backing. Very expressive in the hop department, with a lovely spicy and earthy finish. Excellent.
