Annex Ale Project Imperial Progress IPA American IPA at 7.1% ABV (C$10.25 at Collective, 946 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 13-Feb-2019, reviewed 14-Feb-2019)
Appearance: clear pale gold with one fat finger of dense white head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: juicy citrus, tropical fruit, bready caramel, light pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
Nothing in particular stands out here, just a solid, well-made IPA. Bright and juicy citrus and tropical fruit over a clean malt base, with a hint of pine on the back end. Like an amped up version of Forward Progress – which is all to the good. (16/20)
