Awning Attack DIPA

DIPA

Rotational Beer

ABV: 8.5%

IBU: 91

The Awning Attack Double IPA is an intensely hoppy and strong India Pale Ale. This beer was brewed and double dry hopped with the classic IPA hop combination of Citra and Mosaic. This results in a bright intense grapefruit, lime and tropical aromas followed by subtle floral and pine notes. The flavour profile mirrors the aroma but also finishes dry and clean. This is also a high gravity beer at 8.5%, that provides a warmness and helps balances the beer. The drinker must be aware as this beer will sneak up and “Attack”.

THE STORY

Whenever my sister and I go camping, it is guaranteed to rain. One year we thought we would go to Writing-on-Stone in southern Alberta where the annual rainfall is second lowest in the province. We pulled our trailers to the park and proceeded to explore the Hoodoos and float down the river. However, once again a huge rainstorm found us. We were waiting out the storm in our trailer when my brother-in-law ran back to their trailer. Shortly after he left, we heard a huge gust of wind followed by a crash. I was sent to investigate and found my brother-in-law sitting on the ground, holding his head. The wind had picked up the awning and dropped it on him just as he passed underneath. Interestingly, everyone I know seems to have a story about a rogue trailer awning that has “Attacked”.
