Evil Twin Brewing IPA Is Not A Problem To Be Solved, But A Reality To Be Experienced – American IPA at 10% ABV (C$11.30 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 26-Mar-2021, reviewed 1-Apr-2021)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy tropical & stone fruit, cereal grains, citrus, resiny pine. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium-full slightly creamy body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter warming finish. (4/5)
Wow, that title is almost unbearably pretentious, innit? (But then, when aren’t Evil Twin’s names unbearably pretentious?) Good beer though. As usual I can’t find any proper brewer’s notes from Jeppe, but secondary sources say it’s DDH’d with Waimea, Citra, and Wakatu. Surprisingly easy drinking for a double digit ABV, with just a mild alcohol spiciness and warming in the finish. Crushable, until you fall over. (17/20)
