Blackrocks Brewery Mykiss IPA – American IPA at 7.5% ABV | 60 IBU (C$5.08 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 16-Mar-2021, acquired 7-May-2021, reviewed 23-May-2021)
Appearance: clear straw with one fat finger of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, floral, resiny pine, grass. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
Nice one. The aroma starts off sweetly fruity and flowery, but as it warms (and/or retronasally) there’s a distinct shift to citrus and pine. My major complaint here is that it’s way too easy to drink for the higher ABV – that, or the 12 oz can is far too small. (16/20)
