From Big Ridge Brewing in Surrey comes their “Wrath of Brooks-Kahn Belgian IPA” a collaboration between the brewmaster at Big Ridge Ashley Brooks and the former brewmaster Tariq Kahn who is now the head distiller at The Distillery. When this beer was originally made it was called the Wrath of Kahn as a play on Tariq’s name. The beer pours a copper colour with an off white head. The aroma consists of Belgian yeast, citrus fruits and floral hops. The flavour is of Belgian yeast, spices, huge citrus rind, lemon, resin, caramel, good levels of bitterness and a dry finish. The alcohol content comes in at 7.4% with an IBU of 76. I really enjoyed the glass of this that I had and I would go for me if I found it on tap.
I wish more of these would make it to the island. Lately its been nothing but Saisons and Sours! Nothing wrong with either, but its getting tedious, you know?
Totally agree in Vancouver. I love sours but lately my stomach does not. I want more IPA’s and barrel beers.
Damn skippy. Gimme hops!
And quite frankly, not to dig on the local brewers too much, not many of the sours are overly exciting (nor the saisons, unless they say Four Winds on them).
True dat!
