Tasting Notes
BitterJuicyTropical Fruit
The Spindrift Brewing Company is now called The Burnside Brewing Company
Established in Dartmouth’s Burnside Park in 2015, and immediately starting out with one single core beer, the Coastal Amber Lager. Spindrift, now Burnside Brewing, made waves throughout the province and quickly started producing a wide range of lagers, then followed with an impressive selection of barrel aged beers, and hoppy ales. All these years later, you’ll find them still focusing on a core lineup of award winning lagers, some under the side brand; Toller, as well as fruited sours, IPA’s, and thick stouts.
Tasting Notes
Bursting with notes of guava, mango, and stone-fruit, ‘Athena’ is hazy, bright, and enticingly bitter. This NEIPA features a generous dry-hopping of New Zealand hops Rakau and Wai-iti, which work to accent the fresh pink guava puree and tropical punch aromatics.
Method
Emphasising hop aroma and flavour without bracing bitterness, the New England IPA leans heavily on late and dry hopping techniques to deliver a bursting juicy, tropical hop experience. The skillful balance of technique and ingredient selection, often including the addition of wheat or oats, lends an alluring haze to this popular take on the American IPA.
Athena IPA sees the addition of pink guava puree along with vibrant, punchy New Zealand hops.
