Collective Arts Brewing Collective Project: IPA No. 1 American IPA at 7.1% ABV | 80 IBU (C$3.99 at Oak & Vine, 473 ml, bottle date 9-Feb-2017, acquired 11-Mar-2017, reviewed 11-Mar-2017)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of fluffy ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, pine, dank resin, white wine must, hint of onion. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
Another solid performer from Collective Arts. I’d be happier with it if the Nelson Sauvin were more pronounced, and the Citra a tiny bit less oniony, but it’s pretty solid as-is. (15/20)
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
