Spring Training I.P.A.

CBC's Spring Seasonal!

You want an IPA, you’ve got one, but with a twist! “Spring Training” breezes in like a breath of fresh air, ready to awaken your senses from a long, cold winter. Crafted primarily of Canadian pale malts, the recipe also incorporates Belgian carapils and wheat malts to contribute to the beer’s complex body and straw-golden color. Ahtanum and Palisades hops, both relative newcomers on the hop varietal scene, were chosen for their essence of wildflowers and freshly-cut grass, evocative of springtime breezes. This is in contrast to the piney, earthy and resiny characteristics of most IPAs. But don’t worry that these “pretty” hops won’t deliver a strong punch - in addition to extensive kettle hopping the beer is dry-hopped with even more Ahtanums to satisfy your hop-craving.
