Bannerman Brewing Co. Brite Lite Session IPA at 3.8% ABV (C$9.99 at Bannerman Brewing Co., 945 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 26-Aug-2019, reviewed 26-Aug-2019)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of rocky head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, citrus, tropical fruit, oats. (8/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, mild bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, lively carbonation, off-dry short finish. (4/5)
A very nicely done super-low ABV Session, with very little to indicate the low ABV. Although the body tends light, the lively carbonation prevents it from being watery, and the mild hopping meshes well with the oat background. Taking too long with the pint might allow it to go a tad watery, sure – but it’s so easy-drinking there’s no good reason to do something so silly as take your time with it. (16/20)
