Arcadia Brewing Co. The Whistling Pig – American Pale Ale at 4.9% ABV (C$4.36 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 14-May-2020, acquired 29-May-2020, reviewed 29-May-2020)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin cap, minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: zesty citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains, pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mild bitter finish. (4/5)
I’m sorry, first beer? Wow – I’d call this a solid effort were it from an established brewery. A pleasantly robust Pale that doesn’t in the least seem like a watered-down IPA. I would quite happily crush many of these on a patio. (15/20)
