So named for our more photogenic, twinkly neighbour, Buoy Tree is our seasonal piney, West Coast style IPA. Brewed with lots of Canadian pale barley malt, Canadian wheat and a bit of caramel malt to round out the colour and body a bit, we put the focus on using as many local piney, citrus-forward hops as we reasonably could. Equal parts Cascade and Chinook hops from Lakeview Hops in Harvey deliver waves of pine, orange and grapefruit aromas and flavours, plus some Simcoe from the West coast helps tie those evergreen qualities together. We dialled the bitterness up a bit on this one, giving the mouthfeel a more pronounced finish that lingers with you ‘til the next sip. A medium body and a softer carbonation support the beer throughout, with a sneakier abv. to get you through the ugliest of sweater parties. Brewed once a year and best enjoyed among festivities!
