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 Saturday Night Lumberjack by Barn Hammer Brewing Company at King & DufferinDarker & maltier than most modern DIPAs, but still plenty bitter as well. Brings to mind Arrogant Bastard, but a bit lighter on the palate.
- Greg C. is drinking a 191 Mӓrzen - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & DufferinProperly malty with notes of breadcrust and caramel, herbal hops to balance. About 9 months from canning but it held up surprisingly well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Three Ring Circus by Block Three Brewing Co. at King & Dufferin3+ years old & showing its age so forgoing a rating to be fair. Seems like there’s probably a good beer behind the oxidization, though.
- Greg C. is drinking an Imagination Experiment Root Beer Stout by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoAroma & flavour are all about the root beer. Which is just fine for a root beer fanatic like me. Might be a bit much for others.
- Greg C. is drinking a Leave No Trace Pale Ale by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoHazy straw yellow. Light bodied, grainy character with top notes of citrus peel & green hop. “Crushable” I suppose but not much beyond that.
