I'm on the hunt for great beer. Some people like mass produced flavorless beers or as I call them don't offend anyone beers. Personally I don't! So I'm on the search for big flavors, interesting takes and overall just great beers. Here is an account of my search for beers that are special or different or anything in between.

LightHouse Brewing Shipwrecked Triple IPA
This is the first product I have tried from this relatively new brewery based in Victoria B.C.. This is also the first product in there new line of "Small Brewery Big Flavor Series". Not a bad start. This beer is a heavyweight, a ABV of 10% so it packs some punch. A little darker than most IPA's plus it's also a little clearer than most as well. It pours with a slightly off yellow thin head that disappears pretty quickly. This beer spends twice as long in the kettle has twice the malts and triple the hops to a standard IPA. With the high ABV I would consider this a imperial IPA. With out using the traditional cascade hops used in the northwest region this beer lacks some of the citrus notes many beers of this style generally have. I would love to give this bad boy another shot if they still have some on my next trip to Brewery Creek.
