ANIMALE HOUSE – 8th Anniversary Release
Double IPA
Colour: Golden
ABV: 8%
Suggested Glassware: Ale Glass
Tasting Notes: We had to ask ourselves, how do we take our Animale series to the next level for our 8th anniversary? We figured this special release absolutely requires a wild amount of unconventional hop products, a menagerie of ingredients you’ve never tasted before today. So, welcome to the “Animale House” party – a celebration of everything we’ve learned over the last eight years while experimenting with hop-forward beer. Made with a heavy oat and wheat base for a pillowy body and jam packed with the juiciest hops on planet earth. Chinook Incognito was added on the hot side, then we fermented with a heavily thiolized yeast strain and dry-hopped with loads of Citra, Mosaic, Sabro, and Citra Lupomax. Expect amplified flavours and aromas of orange juice, guava, and pineapple – fresh from the punch bowl. But wait, the party is just getting started! We also injected a new hop product called Cosmic Guava Euphorics after fermentation to load it with as much tropical fruit character as humanly possible.

HEDGE YOUR BETS
Noble IPA
Colour: Golden
ABV: 5%
Suggested Glassware: Ale Glass
Tasting Notes: Go hog wild with this new unique IPA composed of new world and traditional German hops from the Hallertau region and fermented with Kölsch yeast bridging the gap between a crushable lager and a modern, citrus punch IPA. Hedge Your Bets pours a sunny golden copper with persistent head, gentle carbonation and a dry finish. Rolling aromas of peach rings, lemon-lime soda and dried mango lead into a sonic boom of flavour profiles like lavender shortbread, passion fruit and jasmine tea, with gentle wisps of resinous herbal spice. The bold hop character is playful, yet assertive with a smooth bitterness and quill vibes. It’s time to Hedge Your Bets because this IPA is here to stay!.

Tasting Notes: Made in a modern fashion with pilsner malt and lager yeast, balanced by a layered hopping technique. In this batch we used Strata, Chinook, Talus Lupomax and Citra Spectrum. We get aromas of candied mango, orange blossom honey, fuzzy peach, and overripe papaya, with a juicy mouthfeel and a smooth bitterness.

BAT TO BLACK
Black IPA
Colour: Black
ABV: 6.5%
Suggested Glassware: Ale Glass
Tasting Notes: As the days grow shorter and darker Bat to Black emerges from its slumber. Our take on a old school Black IPA or Cascadian Dark Ale, this beer tastes like the Pacific Northwest in a glass. Hopped heavily with some of the most classic C hops to give this beer a resinous piney character that balances harmoniously with the chocolate wheat malt. Expect notes of evergreen trees, subtle citrus, dark fruit and roasty chocolate. With a smooth body and full mouthfeel balanced out by a moderate bitterness this beer is meant to keep you warm as the days grow cold.
