Winterlong Brewing Co. Weekend Warrior – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$5.04 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 9-Dec-2020, reviewed 23-Dec-2020)
Appearance: clear straw with two fingers of loose white head, good retention and spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, floral, pine, pale malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, building bitter lightly warming slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Nice one. I initially characterized the pine as light, but it definitely gains in strength as the pint progresses, making it almost West Coast in flavour and balance. (14/20)
