R&B's Hoppelganger IPA

It started snowing in Vancouver today, with a possible 15 centimeters tonight.  To celebrate the fact that  don't have any exams for a week and the first real snow of the season, I thought I'd try something I've been eyeballing for a while: R&B's Hoppelganger IPA.  Apart from a cool seasonal label and a reasonable price (under $5), this beer is from one of the better Vancouver breweries, with a traditional English brewhouse right here in Brewery Creek.

Hoppelganger takes a good selection of northwest hops and creates a very smooth, drinkable IPA.  I didn't really find anything in this beer that I couldn't find in other local brews, but Hoppelganger represents a good middle of the road ale.  If you want to introduce someone to IPAs or just enjoy one on a budget, Hoppelganger might just be your beer.  Grab one at your local BC Liquor (sorry, American friends).
