Central City Brewing Red Racer ISA Session IPA at 4.0% ABV (C$3.98 at NLC Gander, 473 ml, packaging date 13-Mar-2015)
Appearance: clear deep gold with one finger of white head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, pithy grapefruit, tropical fruit, grassy, pale malt. (6/10) Taste: mild sweet, mild to moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: light body, moderate carbonation, off dry mildly bitter short finish. (3/5)
Slightly disappointing: initially the aroma is pleasantly (though mildly) hoppy, with a little clean pale malt in the background. It fades surprisingly quickly, though, and the hoppiness never really translates through into the flavours. It’s not bad for a hot afternoon refresher, though. (13/20)
