COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
India Pale Ale We admit it. We have a problem... We love our hops. We especially adore the amazing science of hops! As homage to our favourite wonders of nature, we present to you our award-winning Headstock IPA. The flowering humulus lupulus hop-cone provides us with the vital acids, essential oils and resins that permeate throughout our IPA. The result is a deliciously obscene wallop of tropical fruit, citrus and pine flavours and aromas any hop-head would gladly give a DNA sample for. We conclude that hop science is one tasty passion.

UPDATED: SEP 24, 2021 473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a medium, fluffy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick, soapy lacing. Sweet aroma of grainy caramel malt, orange peel and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy caramel malt, orange peel, peach, grapefruit and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. A solid West Coast IPA.

johndoughty (7231) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - NOV 26, 2020
UPDATED: NOV 26, 2020 Slightly hazy with a big head that disappeared quickly. The dominant flavour is bitterness.Very little hoppiness which is surprising considering this calls itself an IPA.Not very exciting but its a new brewery for me and the first Canadian for some time.

dandeman (1821) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 18, 2020
UPDATED: MAY 18, 2020 Well-present orange scents combined with notes of pineapple and grapefruit make up an interesting but low-intensity olfactory. A thick, creamy white foam covers the rather fuzzy orange golden liquid. A tropical touch with citrus accents declines quickly in intense bitterness of resin and conifer giving us a rather well balanced taste. Notes of orange, grapefruit and lemon gives us a well-diversified citrus palette. The malt is very discreet and lets us glimpse small accents of caramel. The body and effervescence are average, the balance is well focused on hops with a slight astringency. Pleasant and average good IPA. Des effluves d’orange bien présentes combinées avec des notes d’ananas et de pamplemousse composent un olfactif intéressant mais de faible intensité. Une mousse blanche bien épaisse et crémeuse recouvre le liquide doré orangé plutôt flou. Une touche tropicale aux accents d’agrumes effleure l’entrée de bouche se déclinant rapidement en intense amertume de résine et de conifère. Des notes d’orange, de pamplemousse et de citron nous donne une palette d’agrumes bien diversifiée. Le malt est bien discret et nous laisse entrevoit de petits accents de caramel. Le corps et l’effervescence sont moyens, l’équilibre bien axée sur le houblon et on y dénote une toute légère astringence. Agréable et dans la moyenne des bonnes IPA.
