English IPA

Based on the Northern English version of the style as originally brewed and exported to the troops in India, Spinnakers IPA is strong, full flavoured, with a very well balanced yet assertive hop character. This beer is a favourite of our regular patrons and beer aficionados alike.

Draft, Straw colored beer with a little white head. Light malt and grassy flavor and aroma. Lingering mineral flavors. Lighter bodied. Some citrus flavors.

Mellow nose. Golden with a creamy head which fades quickly, but leaves nice lace clinging to the glas. Hoppy taste with a good malt foundation. Exits with a tinge of tanin-bitternes. Nice balance.

Hazy golden, light but balanced nose of leafy hops and vaguely caramelly malts. Light bitterness, well balanced but a pretty far cry from IPA level hopping. Given that this is the brewery’s hoppiest offering, and this is a good beer city in Cascadia, this blandness in unforgiveable. This beer used to be better.
