PORT MOODY, BC – Twin Sails Brewing has announced the release of a new limited edition beer that puts the focus on a lesser used hop strain.
Sneak Attack (6.4% abv, 41 IBU) is described as follows:
This juicy IPA packs a tonne if flavour from one of our favourite underutilized hops, Topaz. This hop showcases bright tropical fruit flavour and a lychee like sweetness. We paired this with small doses of Amarillo and Simcoe to provide balance to the subtle grassy characteristic of Topaz.
Sneak Attack is available now in 4-packs of 473 ml cans at the Twin Sails retail shop, and will be in local liquor stores later this week.

- 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 Unfiltered 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.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
