Snake Lake Brewing Company Norglenwold American IPA at 7% ABV | 60 IBU (C$4.27 at Collective, 355 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 15-Jan-2019, reviewed 17-Jan-2019)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: bright citrus, sweet caramel, pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium slightly creamy body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mildly bitter finish. (4/5)
Really solid NEIPA. The emphatic fruitiness keeps threatening to tend too sweet, but never actually does. My second from this brewery, and the second eight out of ten. I’m going to have to go to their taproom the next time I’m in the neighbourhood of Sylvan Lake! (16/20)
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
