Microbrasserie Vox Populi Double Fruit Punch – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8% ABV | 100 IBU (C$6.30 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 19-Nov-2020, acquired 15-Jan-2021, reviewed 24-Jan-2021)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, zesty citrus, resiny pine, pale crackery malt. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter, low tart. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter warming finish. (4/5)
Lovely juicy bright aroma comprised of tropical fruit (pineapple) combined with zesty citrus and resiny pine, on a clean pale malt. The taste follows suit and is prettygood, if not quite up to the level of the aroma. In the finish, the sweetness is restrained, and it drinks far less bitter than the huge IBU would suggest. (16/20)
