Nelson Brewing Company Fjord Hopper – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 25-Sep-2020, reviewed 28-Sep-2020)
Appearance: hazy straw with three fat fingers of pillowy pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: pineapple & tropical fruit, citrus, pale crackery malt, earth & mild funk. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light funky tart. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lightly funky finish. (4/5)
Fruity and lightly funky, with restrained sweetness tending dry and refreshing in the finish. Nice example of the style, and definitely one that encourages a second… or a third… (16/20)
