World's Best English Style IPA
Country Winner
Mt. Begbie Brewing Co.
Nasty Habit IPA

Canada

"Pale amber and lightly hazy, light head with big bubbles. Hop forward and grassy-earthy aroma. Medium-high carbonation. Medium body. Bold malt profile with bready and toffee notes. Medium-high malty sweetness noticeable throughout. The flavour strikes a well-formed balance between malt and hop, finishing with a drying and suitably tannic hop character. English style IPA with just the gentlest hit of marmalade here as a top note."

"This orange-coloured bright beer with moderate beige foam has a floral, orange marmalade-scented hop aroma followed by biscuit malt sweetness. Bitter orange and lightly floral, herbal and earthy hop flavours persist in the palate over biscuit and light caramel malt, with quite intense bitterness on a slightly astringent finish, with a little warming alcohol."
