Peace River Brewing Tastes Pink IPA – American IPA at 6% ABV

Peace River Brewing Tastes Pink IPA – American IPA at 6% ABV (C$4.68 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 15-Jan-2021, reviewed 5-Feb-2021)

Appearance: clear deep gold with two fingers of loose pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: caramel, grass, citrus. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)

Not too sure what pink would taste like, but this tastes like an old-school AIPA to me… or am I being too literal? Malt-dominant over reasonably balanced bitterness, but ends just a little astringent. Other than that, there’s nothing too wrong with it, and it’s certainly pretty enough, but it’s just not very interesting. (13/20)
