A bold and flavorful hazy DIPA with fragrant hops and crisp mouthfeel. While packed with character, it’s held back by salty notes, visible sediment, and hints of yeast stress. Good, but with this much competition, it doesn’t stand out.

Hadrien DDH | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
Hadrien DDH is a beer worth trying. It starts out incredibly strong with good looks and enticing aroma. It slightly misses the mark on the palate by being unable to match the aromatics while lacking drinkability. Having said that, this is a tasty brew worth picking up when you see it.
Double Descente | Boréale
Double Descente demonstrates excellent craftsmanship, great balance, and an overall superb drinking experience. I couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommended – maybe I’ll grab some more for the fridge before it’s gone.
Espèce | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
Bas-Canada’s Espèce is a beer worth trying if you’re into hazy IPAs. The sheer amount of hop-flavour is commendable, but the beer lacks finesse and drinkability and is certainly not part of the brewery’s best.
Machina | Brasserie du Bas-Canada
Bas-Canada’s Machina is a hazy DIPA worth trying. Given my preference for high value beer – I probably wouldn’t buy more of this given the high price. For the first-timers and people with enough disposable income, don’t hesitate.
Evolution D.T.C | Wood Brothers Brewing Co.
I really want to like this, but at this price point I want an exceptional beer and unfortunately Evolution D.T.C doesn’t fit that bill. Maybe this is all due to a month in can… maybe not.
Double Dream Vol.2 | Wood Brothers Brewing Co.
I’m very surprised how flat this beer falls. It’s hard to say what happened here, but it seems like the beer simply didn’t stand up against age. It’s worth noting that typically I wouldn’t write about a hoppy beer after a month from canning but I thought this time could be different.
Pachacamac | Noctem Artisans Brasseurs
Pachacamac is an excellent DIPA and yet it doesn’t stand out. I think it’s just as good as Oskar HMS Cossack except with a lower drinkability. I was hoping to have my mind blown, but it didn’t happen. Still, this is a beer worth picking up and I would certainly drink it again.
Quelque Chose Dans L’eau | 5e Baron + Bas-Canada
This goes down way easier than any 8% ABV beer should – danger zone (I’m lucky I only have one can). This one surpasses my expectations by being a must-try if you’re a beer geek. Highly recommended.
Cosmic Clouds | SpindleTap Brewery
This one’s worth trying whenever you get a chance. I highly recommend it to hop-lovers as well as hop-curious people. The bitterness shows some restraint so I could see this as a gateway to hops regardless of its strength. SpindleTap delivers by exceeding my expectations.
