Description
Twin Sails Brewing joined Port Moody’s “Brewers Row” late in 2015, opening right next door to Yellow Dog. The name of the brewery refers to its founders, identical twin brothers, as well as the common sight of sailboats that can be seen on the waters of the Burrard Inlet right out front of the brewery. Twin Sails focuses on progressive American IPAs and stouts and have recently implemented a wild barrel program. They are always trying to push the boundaries of what can be done with beer in BC. Quality comes first and foremost, but in the end, it’s just a bunch of guys and girls having way too much fun brewing beer.

Cloudy straw, really footy, funky yeasty nose. Light body, nothing much but yeast on the palate. Poorly executed.

Draught at the brewery. Cloudy, thin head. Dull yellow. Floral, yeast, bit of bubblegum. Good body, touch of floral hop, nothing all that exciting...there are better examples on Murray St.

At the brewery. Bright golden-amber. Diacetyl, some hop. Terrible. Diacetyl, berry hop, moderate bitterness but WTF is with the diacetyl.

Theoretically, this was a dry-hopped version. A dull gold colour. Not a lot of dry hop, just earthy and with a little pale malt.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts and dry bready malt. Flavour brings out sweet bready malt, almost like English, toffee and dark fruits. Rather dull, with a flat palate. Not so interesting.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Dark brown color with small compact head. Some aroma of apples, not a good sign: acetaldehyde. Lean body, smooth mouthfeel, some dark caramel flavor and moderate sweetness, but not enough depth, and getting thin, almost empty in the final; the alcohol is perceived more than it ought to be at this strength.
Why brewing a Doppelbock and not even aiming at the regular strength?
Timid beer.
