Burdock Brewing APA – American Pale Ale at 4.9% ABV (C$5.85 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 16-Sep-2020, acquired 30-Oct-2020, reviewed 3-Nov-2020)
Appearance: hazy straw with one finger of fine white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: zesty citrus, tropical & stone fruit, pale crackery malt, light floral & pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry crisp mildly bitter finish. (4/5)
Lovely, crisp, and easy-drinking. Brewer notes say it’s dry-hopped with Vic Secret, Ella, Mosaic, and Citra, and I’m definitely getting the expected citrus and tropical fruits in a nice balance. (15/20)
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
