India Pale Ales were originally brewed strong to withstand the long voyage to India. Today, breweries concoct IPAs hoppy enough to make the trip back. Vortex IPA is Fort George’s contribution to the IPA arms race. Brewed with generous additions of Simcoe, Apollo, Comet, and Chinook hops throughout the brewing, fermentation, and conditioning phases, and balanced with heaps of pale malt. We designed Vortex IPA not to rip the taste buds off of your tongue, but rather vigorously stimulate your palate with lupulin ecstasy.
Hops: Simcoe, Apollo, Comet, Chinook
Malts: Great Western 2-Row, Grain Millers Flaked Whea

From Good Times Oakland, canned March 24th 2025.
Pours a clear gold with lively carbonation, huge and growing head of foam. Excellent retention and lacing.
Smells of the double dry hopping, big citrus, floral, toasted malt is there.
Taste is fruity hops, citrus, some caramel malt sweetness, pretty lovely bitterness. Dry but yet a little bit juicy.
Slick medium bodied, this is satisfying.

From tap at The Lovecraft, Portland. Aroma is resinous hops with lots of pine resin, ripe tropical fruits, malt, touch of caramel, grapefruit. Flavour is sweetish and medium bitter. Body is medium. Ripe fruity and resinous with some sweetness, very fine IPA.

Can at Dutch Goose. Clear light gold with full, chunky white head. Piney and slight citrus. Resins and citrus flavor. First review was clearly just a bad can - maybe it was dated. Bought a four pack and this is a solid beer, which is expected from Fort George.

Draft at Taphouse. Medium golden, clear, lasting creamy head. Aroma features citrus notes and hoppy elements. Hops take over in the taste, but not overwhelming. Pleasant bittetness finishes it. Solid IPA.
