Rough Draft Brewing Company Grapefruit Weekday IPA Session IPA at 4.8% ABV (C$9.49 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 23-May-2016, reviewed 24-May-2016)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of growing fluffy off-white head, excellent retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grapefruit pulp, piney resin, caramel malt, light floral and tropical fruit. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, short duration moderately bitter finish. (4/5)
A very nice session IPA, that actually opens and improves upon warming. Unlike a lot of S/IPA’s, this one doesn’t come across as thin or watered-down. This really works as a flavourful low ABV implementation of American IPAs. (16/20)
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
