Description
Collective Arts Brewing is a grassroots craft brewery that aims to fuse the creativity of craft beer with the inspired talents of emerging artists and musicians. Collective Arts Brewing was founded on two beliefs: The first that creativity fosters creativity. And the second, that creativity yields delicious pints. We feature limited-edition works of art on our beer cans and labels, and we work to make sure the liquid on the inside is as diverse and creative as the artists we profile. Our brewery is located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This is where we brew everything from our flagship IPA Ransack the Universe to our World Beer Cup-winning Stranger than Fiction porter. In our taproom we pour up to 10 different beers at one time, samples and flights, we host brewery tours and live entertainment weekly. Stop by to see our beer bottle gallery showcasing every artist we’ve worked with over the past 6 years.

grain and citrus juice on the nose. A solid white head with sustained lacing over a pale straw body. More golden ale than blonde, very little evidence of fruity yeast esters. Full slightly roasted grain, sweet malt and splashes of lemon and orange work well together. A solid fresh summer ale.

A really tasty Nor'Easter. Peaches, kiwi, lemon, pineapple and a touch of soapiness. Refreshing and juicy

A low white head on a murky golden straw body. The nose punches with grapefruit hops, sweet malt and a touch of pepper. This looks like a new fangle North East IPA, and it has some of it's characteristics, but it is as much a hoppy west coaster. Fresh and juicy fruit tastes from the mosaic and citra hops lead with grapefruit and pineapple. Tropical elements are there as well in a well balanced and refreshing package.

A light straw body with a fine white head. Understated nose features biscuit malt and a touch of citrus. This is a really refreshing and tasty blonde ale. Juicy lemon leads the taste profile, complimented by orange, pepper and a nice soft hit of Belgian yeast. The malt is chewy with a hint of graininess. Clean and dry, it has a very crisp finish

A dense white head on a rich gold body. A fresh nose features pine, juicy citrus elements and a touch of pepper. Nice pop to this IPA. A range of juicy hop elements include tropical fruit, pineapple, orange, lemon and fruit rind. A hint of pine adds to the blend. The malts are typically bready and soft with a touch of caramel sweetness. A touch of astringent bitterness extends through the taste profile as well as a touch of west coast IPA soapiness. Medium carbonation and body. A real hit!

500mL bottle, pours jet black, almost no head. Aroma has tons of orange zest, lots of sugars, and gentle bourbon. Flavour is rich, with intense orange zest, plenty of sugars, a touch of the bitters, and a touch of bourbon barrels. That orange zest and sugars really shine and work well with the strong base. Excellent.

It is a regular session IPA, easy to drink, watery with notes of pine tree, pineapple, fruity and hoppy, ok for the degree of alcool, 27.10.17, drinking it at the Pibar, Lausanne.

Eoah. Actually smells and tastes a bit like an OF, uncanny. Bourbon, herbals, orange peel, quite a thin body, smooth, good stuff. If you like an OF, try it.

For me, it was an enjoyable experience with this ipa, rather on the way of a white ipa. This one is well balanced, solid bitterness, dry malt, citrus, fruity with sparkling note, dominant hop, grapefruit, perfect at night, 16.05.22, at Epalinges.
