TORONTO, ON – Great Lakes Brewery has announced the return of a beer inspired by brewmaster Mike Lackey’s travels in the hop-growing region of the Pacific Northwest.
Meanwhile… Down in Moxee (6.5% abv, 65 IBU) is an American-style IPA that was originally available last year as a brewery-only release. Now available via the LCBO, it’s named after the small town of Moxee, Washington which features “a post office, a laundromat, and one heck of a terrific Teriyaki restaurant, [and] is the hometown of the El Dorado hop, which we feature in this here IPA.”
The beer is described as follows:
The hazy IPA pours a milkshakey orange with some whiteness of the suspended yeast peering through. Huge aromas of mango, nectarines, lychee and strawberry abound from the glass and get those saliva glands kicking into high gear. The first sip, and each gulp thereafter, all provide flavours of tangerine and peach, with some kiwi and mango notes mingling together to create a very juicy experience. Medium body, mildly bitter and yet very refreshing, we may have to send Lackey back to Moxee next year for more Teriyaki.
Meanwhile… Down in Moxee is rolling out now in 4-packs of 355 ml cans that will be available at LCBO stores throughout Ontario for $10.95.
