Halo Brewery, based on Wallace Avenue in Toronto, has unveiled ‘System Overload’, an 8% Imperial IPA.

The beer is nearly entirely dry-hopped, bar a small bittering addition, with Citra.

The brewery explained: “System Overload is intended to be a pure expression of this unique hop that is known for its juicy tropical, citrus and lychee fruit flavours.

“As a result of limited Citra hop availability, it is not expected that this beer will be brewed again until 2017.”

Halo is a small brewery, tasting room, and bottle shop located in Toronto’s Junction Triangle.

The brewery added: “We make ales that are rooted in the Belgian and American brewing philosophies of artistry and experimentation, which is just a fancy way of saying that we refuse to let the same old beer styles restrict us.

“We use fruit, spices, and other unique ingredients in our recipes to complement the flavours of our malt, hops, and yeast.

“The more interesting the ingredient, the better. So if you happen to be a gene-splicing scientist hell-bent on creating the latest novel fruit or fermentative microorganism, we should talk.”
