It's all still in the east end and making its way way west, I guess.TheBeeraholic wrote:Aweomse, some in Pickering. Planned on dropping by there to get some Tree Black IPA.
I actually quite liked this on draft - not a hop bomb by any stretch, but a nice, quaffable Britishy IPA.

Which I think I'm going to be a nice changed from all the hop bombs I'm sure everyones been drinking the last few months.JeffPorter wrote:I actually quite liked this on draft - not a hop bomb by any stretch, but a nice, quaffable Britishy IPA.

the reviews of this one are very mixed bag, but i do look forward to trying it when it gets a little closer to the KW area

had this on tap when visiting guelph, didn't like it at all, very bland.

To me it drinks like a North American-style ESB. Plenty of rounded hop flavour with low bitterness and a refreshing, moreish quality. The draught version at Morrissey House had a nice orangey-apricoty flavour and juicy palate but none of the intensity that I expect from an IPA (less dryness as well). If you view it as a sessionable, moderately hoppy ESB you'll probably enjoy it.

Interesting to read the Best Bitter comparisons.
For those of you who have visited Pepperwood's Bistro in Burlington in the past: You should recognize this beer as the Pepperwood's Dry-hopped Best Bitter. ( I had quite a few of them )
Paul Dickey, brewer of Hops and Robbers, was the brewmaster at Pepperwood's a few years back.

It's a very nice beer, but probably shouldn't be called an IPA.

Picked up a few cans, tastes great to me.

Very light tasting ESB, if im looking for a sessionable IPA i will reach for hop head or smashbomb. Very disapointed with this. There is nothing "Extra delicious" about this at all.

Hops & Robbers is a weekly sponsor for the Peterborough Disc Golf Club!
The response has been pretty good so far. The craft beer drinkers like it 'cause it's sessionable and balanced. And it's a good introduction to craft beer for the PBR/Bud guys.
