Vancouver Special IPA
6.0% India Pale Ale
(replaces Hoppelganger IPA) This hop dominant IPA featuring Pacific Northwest hops is names for the box-like houses, built in East Vancouver, BC between 1965 & 1985. Big & sturdy, featuring low pitched roofs with front balconies and brick and stucco finishes, the Vancouver Special is truly an iconic East Van original.

My senses may be a bit dim due to a minor cold but... for what it's worth. What we've got here is a more classic example of an IPA or modern classic anyway. A nice orange gold with a small but persistent foam that laces like a shoe salesman. (Lots) Aroma is big pine and man good that are any subtleties, I can't find them in this state. A medium body packs big flavours of pine and citrus. There is a little bit of a resinous taste thatbi usually enjoy and do here. I can almost taste some malt additions but they elude me. I will for sure be trying this again when I'm all clear.
