Phillips Hop Circle IPA

Phillips Hop Circle IPA
6.5% abv.
This beer from Phillips Beer from Victoria, B.C., smells of mango, peach and tangerine - yum!

"The smells are echoed in the taste: Again, sweet tropical fruit flavours," Jeff said.

He said there is a "pleasing bitterness" that balances out the sweetness.

"I could see this beer as dangerous on summer patios - the 6.5% abv. will sneak up on you as you session this with some spicy grub."

From the website: "Let this otherworldly IPA abduct the hell out of your senses. The gravitational pull of Hop Circle will have you searching the galaxy for another close encounter of the thirst kind. Resistance is futile."

So ... this beer (or brewery) is the Borg?
