Hopworks Urban Brewery Ferocious Citrus Blood Orange – American IPA at 6.2% ABV | 40 IBU (C$4.36 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 6-Oct-2020, acquired 30-Oct-2020, reviewed 31-Oct-2020)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: orange juice, caramel, light pine, oats. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, sweetish building bitter mildly bitter finish. (4/5)
Juice dominated – as in, real orange juice – on the front end, with a building lingering hop bitter in the finish. Not bad, but there’s really not much more to it than the blood orange juice. (14/20)
