Good Mood Brewery Every Day IPA – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$2.00 at Crowfoot Liquor Heritage Pointe, 355 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 2-Sep-2020, reviewed 4-Sep-2020)
Appearance: slightly hazy medium gold with a massive rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: caramel, pine, grassy weeds. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering building bitter hop burn finish. (3/5)
I guess if you take it in the sense of “typical” or “unremarkable”, you could argue this really is an everyday IPA – as opposed to an IPA you’d want to have every day, if you see the distinction – although, that being said, the bitterness level is pretty emphatic so not really all that typical. It’s a weird combination of almost brutal bitter, yet not really all that interesting overall, probably mostly because the aroma is relatively mild and malt-forward. (13/20)
