Evil Twin Brewing The Pure and Simple IPA Is Rarely Pure and Never Simple (Batch #001) – American IPA at 4.5% ABV

Evil Twin Brewing The Pure and Simple IPA Is Rarely Pure and Never Simple (Batch #001) Session IPA at 4.5% ABV (C$6.34 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 12-Apr-2019, reviewed 29-Apr-2019)

Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of creamy white head, good retention and spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: pineapple, lemon-lime, grainy malt, melon, light grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, mild short duration finish. (4/5)

Decent enough, I suppose, and nothing really wrong here that I can put my finger on, but it’s certainly not exciting enough to overcome my initial perception: yet another bandwagon beer. OK with lunch, especially considering the light ABV, but not one you’d necessarily go back to. (15/20)

7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
