Captain Lawrence Brewing Company Orbital Tilt – American IPA at 5.9% ABV (C$4.81 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 4-Dec-2020, acquired 9-Apr-2021, reviewed 20-Apr-2021)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of fine pale ivory head, good retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains, floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration moderate bitter finish. (4/5)
The label indicates Pilsner malt and malted oats, but doesn’t specify the hops, while the brewer web site simply says “rotating hops”. I think it might be the Citra version, but don’t hold me to that, because the fruit character is a bit muddled. Pleasant, I suppose, but not spectacular. (14/20)
