north west ale is inspired by the assertively hopped beers of the cascadia region. This ale is brewed with 85 IBU’s of pacific north-west hops, superbly well balanced with a strong, copper coloured, malty body.

Can procured from the brewpubhotelrestaurant. Has a nice aroma of soft malts, some vegetable hops and dirty armpits, and a very good bright offwhite foam on top of orangey-brown semi-cloudy liquid. The flavour is a reasonably bright and malty hoppy brew, very pale-ale-ish with orange notes and chewy biscuit. Full on the mouth though not too dry nor crisp. A good drinker, nice balance.

Draught @ Vancouver Craft Beer Week Festival 2014, Vancouver, BC
Feels more like an English Pale Ale than an APA. Quite malty, crisp and earthy with some sweet toffee and fudge notes. Not very balanced.

650mL bottle, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out metallic notes, some crackery malt, and some mild hops. Flavour brings out some weird chemically hops, some detergent, and some crackery malt. The chemical notes really destroy this. Not sure if this is the desired flavour profile, but this isn't very drinkable. Not good.

Probably the best I tried at the brewpub today. Some pine and citrus hops. Pours clear orange with some lacing. No head. Light bitterness with a notch of sourness. On tap.

Tap at Spinnakers. Hop perfume on a hazy amber body. Medium light body, dry base, lightly resiny pine and grassy hop. High on IBUs but fresh, only slightly oily in the finish.

Amber color. Wonderful aroma, caramel, toffee and fruity hops, with a light earthy touch. The body is lean, with a good caramel and toffee flavor, the hopping is powerful, with a strong resiny profile. I would have appreciated a beer with a bolder body, but also as is it’s very enjoyable.
