Call Sign Goose: New England IPA
Our third NEPIA is hazy with a large oat and wheat presence giving it full body and mouthfeel. The large hop addition late in the boil and during fermentation gives this beer its fruity and juicy character.
Tasting Notes:The nose of this beer has a large hop presence and smells a little sweet with some citrus notes with an almost melony base. It tastes citrusy with some melon flavour persisting throughout. The balanced bitterness level ensures that the beer is not overly cloying in the finish. Pairings include spicy foods like curries and fruitier dishes. It also does well with cutting through the fat in richer dishes.
ABV: 7.4% | IBU: 20
How’s The Ice? A Wee Heavy
Our second Scottish beer is rich, malty & caramely. This beer is a big brother to our Rowdy Rowdy Scotch Ale: a prolonged boil and large malt bill give it more caramel character to balance out the large alcohol content.
Tasting Notes:The nose consists of dark caramel with a bit of alcohol in the background. The flavour itself is that of a complex malty beer, with notes of dark caramel and toffee which provide a good deal of sweetness to the beer. The large alcohol content makes it’s presence known but is balanced by the sweetness and the richness of the malt content. Finishes with a small hit of alcoholic heat. It pairs well with caramelized dishes and most desserts.
ABV: 8.4% | IBU: 26
