Strong Beer/Bière Forte is a delicious (and bilingual!) IPA. It is also the result of an interprovincial collaboration with the team at Brasserie du Bas-Canada, based in Gatineau, QC. For this joint venture, each brewery agreed on two hops to use in their respective recipes and was left to select a third mystery hop; a decision informed by personal hop whims and Humulus lupulus fancies.
Strong Beer/Bière Forte is hopped with Citra, Strata, and … Lotus, which impart notes of grapefruit, candied pineapple, and tangerine. Big on flavour and very drinkable.

[As a hazy IPA] On tap at Kingston Brewing. Pours thick hazy yellow with small white head. Aroma strongly resembles bug spray; presumably citrus. Almost pulpy in the mouth. Flavour is essentially orange juice with some hoppy bitterness. I don't understand how two excellent breweries can collaborate to produce such a fucking terrible beer. And this should be entered as a NEIPA.

Can: Poured a cloudy/hazy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and good amount of lacing. Aroma of juicy citrus hops notes with some tropical notes and nice floral hops undertones. Taste is also a great mix of juicy hops notes with some floral undertones and some tropical fruit flavors. Body is full with good carbonation. Solid NEIPA with nice flavors of fresh fruits.
