Odd Company Brewing Ella Nelson – American IPA at 6.9% ABV (C$8.68 at Collective, 500 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 31-Dec-2020, reviewed 2-Jan-2021)
Appearance: clear pale gold with two growing fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: white grape must, earth, oak, light citrus. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, short duration lightly tart funky finish. (3/5)
Not terrible, but definitely as much an earthy must, as a grape-y musty. I kept waiting for a bit more complexity to develop, but it never really does. Just OK. (13/20)
