From Powell Brewery in East Vancouver comes their "5th Anniversary Ale" a Hazy IPA aged in Pinot Noir Barrels with Brettanomyces for 6 Months. The beer pours a cloudy orange colour with a white head. The aroma consists of brett funk, floral hops, pinot noir and oak from the barrel aging. The flavour is of brett funk, citrus rind, tropical fruit, melon, pinot noir, oak, resin, yeast and bitterness. The alcohol content comes in at 7.6%. This is a definite winner of a beer and very worthy of being the 5th Anniversary beer!
