Second one tonight from Whitewater Brewing company. This is their signature IPA. It is another one I tasted at Session Muskoka, but my notes were terrible. So I was happy to get a chance to try it again.

Onto the tasting...

Pours honey/amber with an off white head made up of small bubbles. Aroma is malty and sweet with light hints of green hops. First sip reveals a lighter bodied West Coast style IPA with malt forward sweetness, some molasses, and caramel and a hint of bitterness. Piney on the finish and slightly resinous. Very smooth, delightfully easy drinking. Aeration gives us a nice green piney bitterness from the hops and some smooth malt sugars.


Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional 


Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 5/6 PASS
Re-Order:  6/6  EXCEPTIONAL
Experience: 5/6 PASS

Final Thoughts:

Very nice beer. Definitely will drink this any time I can. It may not be the best IPA in Ontario but it certainly plays in the same league. 


Cheers
