Torchlight Brewing Co. Broadside IPA American IPA at 7% ABV (C$7.85 at Hume Hotel Liquor Boutique, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: clear medium amber with one finger of rocky ivory head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grassy/herbal, caramel malt, coffee, bready yeast. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderately strong bitter. (4/10) Palate: medium to full body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
Not great. And really not an IPA. Kind of a highly hopped amber ale, more than anything. I like supporting micro/nano breweries, but this is a bit of a disappointment. (10/20)
