The Establishment Brewing Company We Are Floating In Space – Triple IPA at 10.5% ABV (C$6.00 at Liquorville Legacy, 473 ml, packaged on 8-Jun-2021, acquired 20-Jun-2021, reviewed 23-Jun-2021)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of fluffy off-white head, excellent retention and minimal lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, white grape, oats and pale malts. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium pillowy body, moderate carbonation, building bitter warming finish. (4/5)
Never hurts to be reminded of our place in the universe… Lots of different malts here (Origin Malting Pilsner, 2 Row, Flaked Oats, Flaked Wheat, Malted Wheat, and Cara-Pils) but only two hops, albeit one in three different forms (Citra, Citra Incognito, Citra Cryo, and Nelson Sauvin), and of course Foggy London yeast. There’s no missing the emphatic alcohol content, but it never becomes harsh. Similarly, there are emphatic sweetness and bitterness on the tongue, but well balanced and tempered by the soft body. All in all, a beast – but an easy-drinking one. (16/20)
