DuClaw Brewing Company Getaway Message – American IPA at 7.6% ABV | 45 IBU (C$5.53 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 15-Jun-2021, acquired 6-Aug-2021, reviewed 16-Aug-2021)
Appearance: hazy slightly muddy pale gold with two fat fingers of foamy pale ivory head, good retention and spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: coconut, pineapple & tropical fruit, cereal grains, citrus. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter, moderate-low tart. (7/10) Medium body, moderate-low carbonation, slightly boozy finish. (4/5)
Brewer notes say this is hopped with Sabro & Sultana, and has adjuncts of Monk Fruit, pineapple juice, and toasted coconut. My immediate reaction is that it’s too sweet, but the emphatic Piña Colada character to some extent forgives (or at least explains) that. Not to the extent of me being completely happy with this, mind you. Very much a one and done. (14/20)
This will be my 5,001st unique Untappd check-in.
