Fernie Brewing Company OiiiPA Aussie IPA American IPA at 6.7% ABV | 60 IBU (C$7.99 at Quarry Park Calgary Co-Op, 650 ml, best before 31-Mar-2018, acquired 17-Nov-2017, reviewed 17-Nov-2017)
Appearance: clear medium gold with two fingers of rocky ivory head, excellent retention and sticky soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, bready caramel, resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium slightly slick body, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
I had high hopes for this, and was not disappointed. Lots of juicy and fruity ANZ hops on the front end, and a sticky, almost oily, emphatic bitter in the finish. I’ve had DIPAs that weren’t this enthusiastic, making this very much my kind of brew. (17/20)
8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
