More information about Black Angel IPA
The Black IPA is a relic of days long gone When the classic India Pale Ale was first brewed, there was already a darker version of the export beer, which impressed with its strong character, intense hopping and complex intensity Today, the majority of craft brewers tend to prefer the lighter IPAs, but there are a few who are fighting to ensure that the classic Black IPA is not forgotten
These pioneers include the brewers at Steamworks Brewing Company The resourceful team uses three properly roasted malts and five complementary hops to produce a beer that catapults the old classic into the present with full force
Steamworks Black Angel IPA flows into the glass in a deep brown hue, almost reminiscent of freshly brewed coffee thanks to its opaque shade. An ivory-colored crown of fine-pored foam sits enthroned on top, its aroma of roasted malt, toasted bread and caramel with floral hop notes, Grapefruit and pine combine to create an irresistible blend The first sip reveals a strong body with a velvety soft mouthfeel and gentle carbonation A soft sweetness lies gently on the tongue and brings with it notes of roasted malt, toffee and liquorice The hops provide complementary aromas of candied grapefruit peel and spicy pine resin A dry bitterness completes the taste perfectly

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...
