WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH A BEER, YOU’RE AFTER SOMETHING. Maybe it’s nuanced layers of flavor, the siren call of a favorite hop, or to test your skill identifying stone fruit tasting notes. Maybe you’re chasing the new or craving the familiar, perhaps you just want to kick back for a drink with friends—and order another of the same. At Bearded Iris, our beers meet you where you are and deliver the experience you seek, whatever it might be, because that’s what we believe makes beer worth drinking. CULTIVATE VARIETY DRIVES US AT BIBCO. (WE’RE NOT KIDDING.) With a menu that skews heavily toward IPAs, DIPAs, and pales, it can appear that we don’t, in fact, cultivate much “variety.” But here’s the thing: we’re not looking to bombard you with a checklist of styles. Instead, we know that each hop varietal and every intentionally selected ingredient contains a multitude of possibilities that can be deliberately unlocked and unleashed, then honed and hemmed in tightly, to construct a pint that’s unapologetically itself, memorably composed, and fun to drink. Every time. Regardless of style. To us, that’s the variety worth cultivating. And that’s what we bring to your table.

Canned. Hazy yellow colour with a huge white foamy slightly off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is grapefruits, some green tea, mild floral and sweet malty notes. Flavour is lemon, grapefruit, some resin, mild biscuity tones as well as some floral bitterness. Also a wee bit of alcohol sweetness as it warms up a bit.

Can at home. A bit hazy yellow color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are both tremendously hoppy, resinous hoppy mostly with light notes of tropical fruit. I love this! Firmly bitter as well and a really pleasant sticky resinous hop bitter finish. Suitable medium to full body and medium carbonation. If I have to give one small point of criticism it would be that the carbonstion is a bit fizzy perhaps but it's still a lovely beer. Very nice!

Can at home. Unclear yellow color, small white head. Smell and taste tropical fruit hoppiness and a decent bitterness after the initial semi overpowering sweetish start. Decent to medium body, firm carbonation. Mwah.

Tap at De Molen. Clear light golden color, full sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, fruity hops, average to decently fruit hoppy bitter. Suitable body and carbonation. Quite alright but I like it better when it has resinous piney hoppiness. Still solid though.
