Burley Oak Brewing Company Citralaxy – American IPA at 7.5% ABV (C$11.00 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 25-Mar-2021, acquired 6-Aug-2021, reviewed 8-Aug-2021)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, pale malt, dank resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Creamy medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry short duration medium bitter finish. (4/5)
“India Pale Ale with that lupulin powder”. Yes. I assume, given the name, that there’s Citra and Galaxy in here, but I can’t find any brewer’s notes. In any case, that’s certainly the flavour profile I’m getting. Nice weight in both the body and the ABV, supporting the emphatic hop profile. All in all, very nicely done. (16/20)
