Definitive Brewing Company Behind the Light – American IPA at 7.4% ABV (C$9.80 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 10-Feb-2021, reviewed 25-Feb-2021)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruits, melon, citrus, pale cereal malts, resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, building & lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
Double dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, giving a nice complexity in the aroma and flavour. Pretty similar to Cellar Echoes, which is hardly a surprise given the hop similarities, but a bit better looking. Good one. (16/20)
