Glen Haffy IPA

Badlands Brewing's Glen Haffy IPA is named for the conservation area just north of Toronto — a place of rugged terrain, cold springs, and old-growth forest that feels a world away from the city. The beer carries that same character: a plush, creamy IPA with the kind of hop presence that's assertive without being aggressive, built for people who want flavour without the abrasive bitterness of older-school IPAs.

Expect tropical and citrus hop aromas on the nose, a soft and pillowy body from the creamy malt base, and a clean, satisfying finish that keeps you reaching for another sip. At $8.50 a can it's an easy yes — the kind of IPA that converts people who think they don't like IPAs, and keeps the hopheads happy too.
