Revival Brewcade Ruby Soho – American IPA at 6.6% ABV | 56 IBU (C$4.27 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 15-Jan-2021, reviewed 3-Feb-2021)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with one finger of loose off-white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: sweet grapefruit, caramel, light pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-low carbonation, sweetish medium duration slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Only my third from this brewery, but deeply disappointing by comparison to Multiplayer and Mana Beast. The label claims Citra hops, but the aroma is completely dominated by the ruby grapefruit adjunct. I assume that adjunct is also the reason for the near-complete lack of head development for this one. It’s not terrible, but even though I’m a complete sucker for a Radler, this just isn’t working for me. (13/20)
