VICTORIA, BC – Vancouver Island Brewery has announced the launch of a new summer seasonal brand.
Killer White IPA is described as follows:
Killer White IPA is a fragrant and bitter wheat ale. This slightly cloudy IPA is kettle-hopped with Centennial and Ahtanum for a bitter, hoppy edge. It’s dry-hopped with Galaxy to create aromas of passion-fruit; fermenting with a hefe yeast imparts traditional banana and clove notes. The flavour is fresh and citrusy, the mouthfeel smooth and lively. This white has some bite to it!
Killer White IPA will make it’s debut on draught during a launch party at the brewery today (June 29th) starting at 4:00 PM, with bottles to follow next week.

- 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.
- Greg C. is drinking a Divercity by Lost Craft at King & DufferinI liked this beer a lot in its original form as Pint Pursuits The Answer, and it remains a great Helles under its newer name & ownership.
