Muskoka Brewery Window of Hopportunity – India Pale Lager at 6% ABV (C$4.00 at Collective, 473 ml, best before 21-Jan-2020, acquired 15-Oct-2019, reviewed 18-Oct-2019)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with two fingers of fluffy white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, crackery pale malt, grass, earth. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, sweetish medium bitter finish. (3/5)
Light and bright, lively and easy-drinking, with a pleasant hop character. Its biggest drawback is probably the Lager-ish sweetness in the finish, preventing it from being really crisp. Other than that, if you have to drink a Lager, you might as well make it an IPL, right? (14/20)
