Winterlong Brewing Co. HazySexyCool – American IPA at 7% ABV (C$5.08 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 9-Apr-2021, reviewed 14-Apr-2021)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, resiny pine, citrus, caramel, light sweaty funk. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish bitter slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
A touch aggressively bitter for the style. The edge isn’t harsh, but it’s definitely there, and I’m not entirely sure it belongs. I was vaguely aware of the eponymous album but that’s even less my style, so not a lot to say there. (14/20)
