E9 Brewery Ghostwalker – American IPA at 6.4% ABV

E9 Brewery Ghostwalker – American IPA at 6.4% ABV (C$5.26 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 16-Oct-2020, reviewed 20-Oct-2020)

Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and heavy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, crackery pale malt, light pine / herbal. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly vegetal finish. (3/5)

Juicy aroma doesn’t quite follow through into the taste. In particular, there’s a slightly green and vegetal note in the finish that suggests overextraction. Feels slightly harsh, but not unpleasant overall. Falls a bit short of their best, but it’s by no means their worst. (15/20)

7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
