VICTORIA, BC – Driftwood Brewery have just released the latest addition to their regular beer line-up, Crooked Coast Amber Ale. Here’s how they describe it:
Inspired by the original Alt-style beer of Dusseldorf, Crooked Coast brings together the aromas of German noble hops and Munich malt to produce a very refreshing and mellow ale that is the perfect companion on any shape of coast.

- Greg C. is drinking a Tropic Like It's Hop by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinPassionfruit doesn’t really stand out in this, but it’s still a nice & refreshing pale ale. Would just like the flavour to pop a bit more.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Milk Stout by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinSeems like maybe the chocolate has been dialed back a bit, and that’s ok - it’s better balanced & doesn’t seem nearly as strong the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
- Greg C. is drinking a R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
