Brewmaster’s Edition
There is no Compromise Here!
Two hundred years ago, India Pale Ale was the perfect solution to the demand in Colonial India for fine English beer: extra hops and a generously higher alcohol content to ensure the brew survived the trip. Today, a British-style IPA is an unquestioned favourite among those who treasure a full bodied flavourful beer. Dead Reckoning Royal IPA draws its unique personality from the vibrant hues of four carefully-chosen British hops, as well as the earthy wit of two incessantly charming malts. Dead Reckoning Royal IPA will deliver an exquisite calvacade of rich flavours and a fist-full of refreshment, all with a brain-tickling punch.

Bottle. Preety red amber, lowish head. Light oxidized, eathy british hops and caramel malt aroma. Chewy, mellow mouthfeel. Dry grassy and earthy hops, light fruity (apple) notes, broad caramel. A bit dusty, but in quite nice barleywine/old ale really - good balance and with a light minerally finish which makes it a lot more moreish than most IIPAs will be.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear, dark amber colour with a thin off-white head. Faint aroma of caramel malt and grain. Sweet flavour of caramel malt and citrus with a dry, resiny, lightly bitter, hoppy finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad for an IPA but lacking the hop profile for a Double.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Amber color, clean, with compact head. Mild aroma of caramel and grains. Correct body strength, not dry not sweet; strong caramel flavor, with an accent of grains and cereals; strong bitterness, with tired dusty hop resins and no fresh fruity hop character.
Drinkable beer, but rather boring IPA/DIPA.

Small off white head on top a a very clear deep copper colour. Nose is toffee and candied fruit with some pine and earth. Sweet caramel to start with a moderate bitterness but a bit light for a DIPA. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation. Well balanced and probably the best from Big Rock that i have tried.

On tap at Portside, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Nose of candied caramel malt, resinous hops and Belgian yeast. Flavour certainly brings out a Belgian IPA hybrid, with notes of resinous hops, Belgian yeast, and candied sugar. A little too sweet for an IPA for me, but this is balanced decently well. Not bad at all, especially for Big Rock.

deep brown amber color. Some very faint cherry and apricots in the nose . The mouth has a decent malt backbone with caramel, cherry and apricot. Full bodied. A non-offensive moderately good IIPA
