Annex Ale Project Well, Actually – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$4.45 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 2-May-2020, acquired 7-May-2020, reviewed 16-May-2020)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: melon, citrus, caramel, pine, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration mildly astringent finish. (3/5)
I’m not normally one to complain about bitter, but this is pretty bitter for something calling itself an NEIPA. This is particularly the case in the finish, which is somewhat astringent. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. (14/20)
