Gigantic Brewing Company Solid! (#30) American Pale Wheat Ale at 6% ABV (C$10.95 at Sundance Wine Market, 650 ml, best before 3-Mar-2016, acquired 28-May-2016, reviewed 31-May-2016)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with one fat finger of medium-dense off-white head, excellent retention and good lacing. (4/5) Aroma: papaya and other tropical fruit, citrus, wheat and pale malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
I like the best before language on this one: “Not as awesome after 03/03/16”. Well, that might be true, but it still lives up to its name almost three months after that: solid. Wish I had gotten it fresh – maybe then it would’ve been Solid!, or even awesome. (14/20)
