Legend has it there is something that lurks beneath the surface. For this West Coast IPA however, we’ve got nothing to hide! Lake Monster is a West Coast IPA, that is light and crispy, yet loaded with Strata and Citra hops! There has been whisperings about this old tale for years; so is it true? It’s up to you to find out.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has oily resins, some pine, a touch of caramel, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a reasonably expressed resinous hop character, along with gently sweet bready caramel malt. Not too forceful a hop expression, but the balance is good. Pleasant.

Poured from the tap. Clear bright blonde with small white head. Crisp biscuit malt with resinous floral hops and mild dankness. Decent.

Can from High Point, Vancouver
Blond colour, almost clean, with medium sized head. Mild hop resins, but there is also a light floral aroma, light dankness, very light rubber. It's off-dry, with good body; crispy malt base; bold bitterness, and the hop provides both resinous and fruity character; light dankness; balanced and expressive.
Very good..

Strange aroma of old socks. Flavour doesn't follow through badly but that initial aroma, not exactly what I was expecting. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter end. Tap at brewery.
