Portage and Main IPA

Portage and Main IPA is the newest addition to Fort Garry Brewing’s Brewmaster series - a line of beers that branches into more bold and complex flavours than is found in Fort Garry’s standard offerings. I’ve reviewed several other beers from this series in previous blog posts.

This IPA is made with West Coast and Manitoba flower hops. It has a pretty intense nose: a strong grapefruit scent dominates but there is also a slightly floral aroma, no doubt because of the aforementioned local hop presence.

The head is a fluffy white with a tinge of orange. The colour is a light amber. 

This beer has a surprisingly malty taste for an IPA and the mouthfeel is a bit on the creamy side.

Another good addition to the ever-growing selection of locally-brewed craft beer.
