Off the Rail Brewing Co. Raj Mahal India Ale American IPA at 5.0% ABV | 38 IBU (C$5.09 at BC Liquor Stores, 650 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 14-Sep-2017, reviewed 18-Sep-2017)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale amber with two fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: lime (leaves?), floral, pale malt, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (6/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter and slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Lots of citrus on the front end of this, which I’m assuming is mostly due to the Kaffir lime leaves, presumably bolstered by the lemongrass. However, there’s a slightly vegetal grassy note, particularly in the finish, which is slightly astringent. (13/20)
