83/100

The short take

An enjoyable, understated IPA. Gentle hop flavor and mild bitterness sit comfortably within a light body, and restrained intensity keeps it easy-drinking, with enough character to invite another glass.

In the glass

  1. Appearance

    Slightly hazy gold with a foamy white head.

  2. Nose

    Subtle citrus and fresh grass make for a quiet aroma, with a light grain note underneath.

  3. Palate

    Light-bodied, with understated hop flavor and gentle bitterness. Restrained intensity keeps it approachable and easy-drinking, and nothing strains against the delicate frame.

  4. Finish

    Mild bitterness and a soft hop impression carry into the close.

How beer-like is it?

Recognizably an IPA through citrus, grassy hop notes and gentle bitterness, though an understated expression of the style rather than a hop-forward one.

  • Modest bitterness

The beer

Got Hops? asks a question the glass answers quietly. This is an IPA built on restraint: the hops are present and well placed, but nothing is pushed to the front. For a light-bodied beer, that is a sensible call.

It pours a slightly hazy gold under a foamy white head. The aroma is subtle rather than shy, with citrus and fresh grass leading and a light grain note sitting underneath.

The delicate frame shows most on the palate. Hop flavor is understated and the bitterness gentle, and both sit comfortably within the light body rather than straining against it. Nothing is out of proportion, which is exactly what makes it easy to drink. The trade-off is intensity: anyone looking for a loud, resinous IPA will find this one reserved.

The finish keeps the same temperament. Mild bitterness and a soft hop impression carry into the close without dragging or turning harsh.

An enjoyable, understated expression of the style. It earns its place through balance and drinkability, with enough hop character to justify the name, and enough to invite another glass.

Exact Canadian can. Karl Hill’s photographs confirm the current package identifier, 355 ml format, Calgary origin and bilingual Canadian nutrition panel. The can lists 36 calories, 5.3 g carbohydrate and 0.4 g protein, with water, barley, hops and yeast as ingredients. These package facts are separate from Karl’s existing firsthand tasting and 83-point score.

Research notes

The producer-published 355 ml can declares less than 0.5% alcohol and the current page identifies Canadian origin. The linked producer nutrition label explicitly gives 36 calories and 5.3 g carbohydrate per 355 ml, with ingredients water, barley, hops and yeast; contains barley. It says sugars are not a significant source but supplies no numerical sugar amount, so no zero-sugar figure is inferred. Embedded older description data instead gives .50%, 48 calories and 7 g carbohydrate for 473 ml; those older serving figures are not applied to the current can. Current producer variants are 355 ml in six-, twelve- and twenty-four-can packs, all repeating the same barcode; a unit barcode is not established by those storefront variants. The product FAQ, about page and blog do not identify the Got Hops manufacturing process. Generic blog descriptions of vacuum distillation and arrested fermentation are not evidence that this SKU uses either technique. The exact can confirms a non-alcoholic beer containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume but does not name a production technique; existing producer method sourcing remains separate.
