4 Mile Brewing Co. Hazy Citra Ale American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$7.47 at Collective, 650 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 28-May-2019, reviewed 30-May-2019)
Appearance: muddy and opaque deep gold with two fingers of rocky white head, good retention and moderate spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild, citrus, doughy cereal grains, light stone fruit. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
A fairly ugly muddy appearance and unimpressive aroma sets the stage for a less than impressive overall experience. The flavour isn’t bad, and the finish is fine, but neither are good enough to overcome those initial impressions. Ultimately a pretty meh-tastic offering. (13/20)
