More information about Steamworks Brewing Co. Flagship IPA
This IPA rightly bears the name flagship: it has already won several prestigious awards and also tastes incomparably good. Three highly aromatic hop varieties and no less than four different malts ensure a wide range of flavors, from exotic fruits to salty caramel, everything in the repertoire to make the expert beer drinker happy.
Flagship flows into the glass in a cloudy golden hue and forms an airy, slightly tinted head. As soon as the bottle is opened, the beer exudes a seductive aroma of juicy pineapple, bitter grapefruit, tangy citrus fruits and melt-in-the-mouth toffee. The first sip presents a wonderfully rich texture, which comes from the oat malt used and gives the light-footed beer a powerful body. A cornucopia of fruity aromas washes over the palate and pampers the tongue with notes of ripe mango, sweet pineapple, refreshing lime and delicious passion fruit. The malt provides the fruit explosion with a soft, caramel base and adds fine roasted aromas and a luxurious creaminess. The bitterness, which increases towards the end, hovers above the action and balances sweetness, acidity and fruitiness wonderfully. The finish is decidedly bitter, but at the same time reveals a fine mango note that harmonizes very well with the bitterness.
The Flagship IPA from Steamworks Brewing is an outstanding IPA that you absolutely have to try!

Steamworks Brewing Co.
When their grandfather moved from Austria to Canada in the 1930s and his sister stayed behind in Vienna, they had no idea that their two grandsons would one day enter the beer business. It took another two generations before the Austrian-Canadian musical family sprouted a brewer: Eli, who discovered a love of beer during his trip to Europe and learned the brewing trade without further ado, bought the Gastown Brewpub. The venerable building housed a real treasure: a steam heating system. The technique of steam brewing dates back to pioneer days and was rarely practiced by the end of the 20th century. Eli showed a spirit of discovery and revived a long-forgotten tradition. Canada's first steam brewery was born and brewing could begin! From Canada to Austria Not wanting to add steam to the Canadian beer scene, but also a breath of fresh air, Eli made regular trips to the homeland of his...
