SQUAMISH, BC – Howe Sound Brewing has announced the release of the latest edition of a popular seasonal brand, although the beer behind the brand has changed somewhat from its original form.
Super Jupiter was originally released in 2013 as a 6.8% abv grapefruit IPA, but tweaks have been made over the years, and for this year’s version it’s now known as Super Jupiter Mango ISA (4.5% abv, 25 IBU) and is described as follows:
Still brewed to have a bit of a hop kick, the beer now takes a more ‘sessionable’ approach to make it even more refreshing. The change from grapefruit to mango adds to the unique flavour and smooth finish of this delicious brew. “With notes of tropical fruit, it has a clean malt profile that lets a large dry hop and the natural mango flavours shine through,” says Simon Jongsma, head brewer.
Super Jupiter is available at Howe Sound and select liquor stores in British Columbia.

- Greg C. is drinking a Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Camp-Out Pils (Moonlight Kettle Graduate 2019) by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
