Freehold Brewing Co. Lawn Darts – American IPA at 5.9% ABV | 50 IBU (C$4.18 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 7-Jul-2021, acquired 15-Jul-2021, reviewed 25-Jul-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, pine, pale biscuity malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (3/5)
If you were looking for a metaphor of how the 70’s and 80’s were the best decades, you need look no further than lawn darts. No, not this beer, the toy – banning lawn darts was the beginning of the downward slide. The beer is also throwback to an earlier age, done as a fairly traditional hoppy IPA, albeit perhaps more 90’s or 00’s style than the era of its namesake, but still. Decent, refreshing. (14/20)
