Ice Fog

Canada·English IPA
Tap to rate

A malt-forward IPA built on the British model rather than on the bitterness race. Copper-gold in the glass, with caramel and biscuit malt carrying the aroma and an orange-marmalade note laid over it. The hopping keeps to earthy, herbal and faintly floral tones, and the bitterness stays moderate and rounded rather than sharp. Medium-bodied, with a tea-like dryness in the finish. The brewery treats it as its everyday IPA, poured in-house at the end of a shift.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
