Festive IPA. 2019 recipe is at 6%.
2020 version known as Hoppy Xmas. Later version (2024) as Hoppy Christmas. Buckle up for this seasonal Simcoe sled ride. A fruity festive fellow that delivers an all out Blitzen of Citrus flavour by the sack load. Citrus and tropical fruits on the Red nose. Tangy citrus, papaya and pineapple Dancer across the palate. All resting on a firm malty under carriage. A happy but bitter end waits.
Hoppy Christmas - don't keep the receipt.

Can. A clear golden colored beer with a small white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is citrusy and flowery, with a touch of pale malts and grass. Quite candy-ish, with a light spiced hint. It's medium to thin bodied, semi-dry and with a decent carbonation. Piney, flowery flavor too, with some spiced hints. Medium length finish. A decent lightly spiced IPA. 221119

Can, 6.0%. Good hoppy aroma, fruit and mild citrus. Cloudy golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour starts off malty with a distinct bitterness, clean but rough. Later there is a mild citrussy hop note. Clean finish. 737315
