freshly arrived at legacy liquor store in vancouver: Mikkeller Citra Single Hop IPA - $5.65 Often pushing the boundaries of beer with unique brews, Mikkeller has decided to show off the characteristics of a single hop. Beautiful amber orange in colour with a pithy and fruity aroma, on the palate grapefruit, citrus and malt all play their role and showcase what Citra is all about. An excellent choice for any hop enthusiast. Joel Wilson | Beer Team | Legacy Liquor Store Dead Frog Brewery The Obsidian Dagger - $6.95 Reinvention isn’t easy, but Dead Frog Brewery makes it look like it is with another addition to their stellar line-up of 650ml bottles. Dark roasted malts and tropical hops work in harmony in this black IPA—with hops like centennial and galaxy, and malts including biscuit and chocolate, this is a true powerhouse. Enjoy before this limited batch beer is all gone. Chris Bonnallie | Beer Supervisor | Legacy Liquor Store Straffe Hendrik Brugs Quadrupel Bier - $10.95...

gotta love it when you have travelling beer geek friends they bring back the beers for the rest of us to try without having to go further from our couches than cask night at ybc rod brought us back this little gem from bruges " Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel  is a rich and intense dark beer of high fermentation. It is brewed using a subtle mixture of special malts, which give the beer an extremely dark colour and a complex full malt character. This Quadruple combines a pure dryness with a rich fullness, flavoured with just a hint of fruit. The continuing process of re-fermentation in the bottle creates a beer which can be stored over a number of years, with an ever-changing and ever-improving taste as a result." i'm not much of a belgian fan, but this was a very drinkable beer those in the know were getting fruit from the nose and banana on the tongue and were nodding in approval
