TASTE
Eureka & El Dorado hops evoke resinous aromas of evergreen forests and wavering spruce in gusts of lemony winter light while plush Cashmere Hops nestle soft melon and downy peach aromas in a frothy blanket. Bright Ariana Hops bring snowy vanilla notes and sparkly citrus frosting atop the crisp drifts of Sultana Hops’ Pineapple, pine, and spicy citrus peel notes.
STYLE
Fluffy & crisp like winter snow, taste the magic of five fresh Northern Hemisphere hops in this special, lactose-creamed winter IPA. Ontario Has 5 1/2 months of hazy winter: we’ve made peace with it.
SERVE WITH
These bright, pulpy hops are great with classic fish ‘n chips, a hearty maple-laced butternut squash soup, caramelized grilled meats, and creamy cheeses. And the cedar and evergreen notes create a suprising fusion of flavour with a big square of pure milk chocolate for dessert.
