Nine Locks Brewing Company Champagne IPA – American IPA at 6.3% ABV | 38 IBU (C$4.68 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 3-Dec-2020, acquired 15-Jan-2021, reviewed 1-Feb-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy paler-than-pale straw with two fingers of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin cap and ring, minimal soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, tart citrus, floral, pale crackery malt. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, dry crisp finish. (3/5)
I guess it’s sort of champagne-like, particularly with the dry finish, but ultimately there’s just not a lot going on there. It’s not terrible, but it’s OK at best. (12/20)
