Powell Street Craft Brewery Daybreak White IPA White IPA at 6% ABV | 56 IBU (C$8.99 at Oak & Vine, 650 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 3-Jul-2017, reviewed 4-Jul-2017)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with two fingers (and growing) of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: orange zest, banana, doughy wheat, floral & weeds, white pepper. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light peppery spice. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, short duration moderate bitter and mildly spicy finish. (3/5)
Decent and approachable example of the style. On the nose it’s much more Witbier than IPA, but there is a definite lingering hop bitterness that goes hand-in-hand with a mild peppery spice. Mild and pleasant. (14/20)
