Siding 14 Brewing Co. Freighthopper’s New England IPA – American IPA at 5.5% ABV | 25 IBU (C$2.92 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 23-Jul-2020, acquired 19-Aug-2020, reviewed 19-Aug-2020)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of rocky ivory head, good retention and moderate chunky lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, caramel. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
A very middle-of-the-road implementation of the style, with no negatives, but also little or nothing to recommend it. Solid but unremarkable. (14/20)
