An outstanding if sweet beer. Ample alcohol and cherry tartness cut right through the sugar but some drinkers might find this to be too much. If your palate tends to align with mine, then you’re in for a high value treat.

HYPA VII | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
HYPA VII hits the style marks with the expected hazy look and a vibrant hop aroma. But on the palate, high minerality and hop astringency take the shine off. It’s a good beer, just a bit fatiguing. The arms race for haze may be costing us some grace.
HYPA VIII | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
HYPA VIII delivers a bold aroma and satisfying flavor, though the minerality runs a touch high for my palate. A bit of hop burn sneaks in, but overall this is an enjoyable brew. A solid pick for hop lovers – even if it doesn’t quite reach Neron-level heights.
