COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Head High is our interpretation of an American-style India Pale Ale (IPA). This beer is all about the hops; we use a blend of five different varieties all grown in the Pacific Northwest. A small charge of Chinook and Columbus early in the boil adds a smooth bitterness. A majority of the hops are then added late in the kettle or post-fermentation to produce a beer that is heavy on hop flavor and aroma. The combination of Cascade, Centennial, Citra and Columbus give Head High a noticeable grapefruit flavor with aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. Our house American ale yeast ferments to a dry finish that accentuates the use of imported Pilsner and lightly kilned crystal malt resulting in Head High’s straw color and crisp flavor.

Sammy (17445) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 25, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 25, 2019 Very decent IPA fresh from Spirits Unlimited. Lots of hop, lots of head. A worthwhile entry by an underappreciated brewery.

fiulijn (27110) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 23, 2019
Tasting at Matt's, can
Cloudy golden colour. Quite modern, not as crisp as other modern IPAs, but it's not sticky, it's moderately sweet, nice resinous hops, some orange peel.
Very good.
