O.T. Brewing Company Crash Pad Pale Ale – American Pale Ale at 5.6% ABV | 52 IBU (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 26-Mar-2021, reviewed 31-Mar-2021)
Appearance: clear pale gold with three fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and minimal soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, melon, pale malt, tropical & stone fruit, herbal/floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Brewer notes say this is dry-hopped with Cascade, Amarillo, and Motueka. I’m getting pretty much the standard profile you’d expect from those hops, but also with a little herbal or floral in the end. Decent, but not very exciting. (14/20)
