Marda Loop Brewing Co. Marda Station – American IPA at 6.8% ABV | 65 IBU (C$4.00 at Crowfoot Liquor Heritage Pointe, 473 ml, packaged on 5-May-2020, acquired 14-Sep-2020, reviewed 16-Sep-2020)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with two fat fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stewed fruits, caramel, doughy yeast, hint of pine and earth. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, sweetish sticky lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
Muddled fruits on the front end and a slightly sticky lingering finish. It’s all right, but definitely more “old-fashioned” than “old school”, and not really very West Coast-ish at all. (13/20)
6.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
