John here and it's time to dip back into my archive notes from July 2015 for an update. This time we turn to a local Ottawa brewery: Beyond the Pale and their Railbender IPA.
Details
Name: Railbender
Brewery: Beyond the Pale (Website)
Country: Canada (Ottawa, Ontario)
Price: $8 a growler
ABV: 7.3%
Commercial Fluff:
"Don’t let the strawberry aroma fool you, this IPA has a hoppiness that doesn’t quit. 7.3%, 75 IBU Celebrating the love of our pals over at Railbender Studio!"
*Railbender studio is a local tattoo parlour located next door.
Own Opinion
Sight: Pours a hazy amber colour with a white crisp head.
Aroma: Definitely getting a hint of strawberries to this one. Similar aroma's to a citrus hopped beer with a good malt aroma present too.
Taste: Packs a fairly bitter finish and leaves the mouth dry. Very moreish, great summer beer.
Would I buy it again? Yes. Though now out of season now, I know that when it next comes around again it will be on top of the shopping list.
Once again another solid beer from a local brewery who I currently visit on a weekly bases. These guys are by far the most interesting brewery in Ottawa at the moment. So if your ever visiting Ottawa make sure to pay them a visit and say hi.
