Brockton IPA
(India Pale Ale,
6%)
-
A pretty decent IPA that is a bit mellower than a full-blown hop-intense India Pale Ale that the Pacific Northwest is known for. A little extra alcohol content and some rounded maltiness give it more weight than a typical pale ale, and the hop aroma and bitterness comes through well enough but comes up well short of the 'harshness' that some may find with more aggressive IPAs. A solid offering.
Available in 6-packs, it does not appear to be a limited release, unlike the IPA they did a couple of years ago. Interesting also that it recycles the 'Brockton' monicker that was used a while back for a black lager - I guess there are only so many places in Vancouver that you can name a beer after.
