Humble Forager Brewing Elevated Perspective – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8% ABV (C$10.60 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 29-Jun-2021, acquired 3-Sep-2021, reviewed 18-Sep-2021)
Appearance: opaque pale gold with two fat fingers of loose fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, floral, resiny pine, cereal grains, citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-soft slightly creamy body, moderate-lively carbonation, slightly sticky medium duration finish. (3/5)
The can says this is hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Strata, but “sweeter than most Hazy IPAs”. Considering I find most Hazy IPAs verge on too sweet to start with, that’s not really a good thing from my perspective (what little elevation that perspective may have). I’m not very impressed by this one, and have to disagree with the high scores out there. (13/20)
This will be my 5,064th unique Untappd check-in.
