Dandy Brewing Company Not Looking for a New England English IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$7.79 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 17-Apr-2016)
Appearance: hazy medium amber with two fingers (and growing) medium-dense light beige head, excellent retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: caramel malt, apples, grassy, light citrus. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky and lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
Definitely an English-Style IPA, with caramel and fruit dominating. The bitterness is definitely present in the finish even though it’s not all that emphatic on the nose. A bit muddled, but not unpleasant. (13/20)
6.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
