hopIQ found 10 beers with the same resinous and tropical character as Calm Tom's. Named in honour of Tom Beckett, an early advocate of craft brewing in Newfoundland, this double IPA leads with tropical fruit: mango, pineapple and a citrus edge, set over a resinous note from the late hopping. The malt runs sweet enough to hold the strength in place without turning syrupy, and a clear alcohol warmth sits behind the fruit. A firm, drying bitterness forms the backbone and carries well past the finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
