Godspeed Brewery Ochame – American IPA at 6% ABV (C$4.90 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 30-Jul-2020, acquired 25-Sep-2020, reviewed 12-Oct-2020)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of dense off-white head, good retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: floral, green tea, citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration moderate bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Certainly not a very traditional IPA, but the green tea astringency actually works fairly well with the hop bitterness. Not everyone’s cup of tea (hah!) but it’s kind of interesting. (14/20)
