Description
Bicycle Craft Brewery was created from humble beginnings, much like many of the craft breweries before us. It started with a home brew kit, a passion for craft beer and a love for creating something delicious out of all natural ingredients. Founded in 2014, Fariborz and Laura wanted to share their passion for delicious, natural, down to earth beer. Their interest in new flavours and pairings have created some unique seasonal beers and ensured their mainstays are delicious every time they're poured.
Together with a hard working team, Bicycle Craft Brewery is about natural, well-crafted and delicious beer. Sourcing locally grown ingredients when available, donating all of our spent grain to local farms, and working with the community on collaboration beers, fundraisers and pairings, we pride ourselves on being your down to earth local brewery. All of our unfiltered ales are a true testament to the bicycle and the wild places you discover along the way.

Oh-no, getting some diacetyl in the nose and mouth. Luckily, enough hops to blend things. Citrus aromas with the popcorn-butterscotch. Citrus zest and pine notes, green grassiness in the taste over the caramel malts. Hazy golden colour with a big frothy white cap, good retention and some thick foamy lacing. Particle run through it as it pours. It is not bad, but it is not my favourite from all of their IPA I got from them.

Lightly hazed golden colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and lots of webbing lace. Grassy hop nose, West Coast-style, but milder as an APA. The taste shows the nice balance between the malts, citrus notes and drying hops. A very refreshing, easy-drinking, hazy pale ale.

Hazy golden-orange colour with a creamy-frothy white cap, good stay and streaks of foamy lacing left. Citrus aromas with lemon and orange peel and juices. Hints of spiciness and tropical fruits. The mouthfeel is fairly thin, and not too crazy dry - so feeling more like a hazy APA. Citrus flavours, again from peel and juices, leaving a little tart on the tongue. Maybe a little more bitterness from the zest notes, than dryness, so goes down nicely without nothing too strong.

Lightly hazy, light-golden colour with an amber hue. The white head is big, frothy, long lasting and leaving lots of soapy-foamy lacing. Aromas of lemon peel and some mild orange juices, oats. The mouthfeel is crisp, refreshingly juicy with enough dryness in the end. Again, citrusy in the flavours with the softening of the oats. A decent juicy, somewhat dry-ending, citrusy pale ale.

Hazy golden-orange colour with a big frothy white cap, very good retention and lots of lacing streaks left. Big herbal, grassy, hoppy aromas with the fruitiness in the background. Hints of cedar and tropical fruits do come out eventually. The grassiness continues in the taste, with bitterness and dryness building, lingering. Getting more of a hazy West Coast IPA style, with a little juiciness as the base. Flavours of grapefruit zest. More of a hopbomb than a NEIPA, but well-brewered all-around.
