Last Best Brewing and Distilling Firebird Hazy IPA Encore – American IPA at 7.8% ABV (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 30-Jul-2021, acquired 3-Sep-2021, reviewed 7-Sep-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, good retention and spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, caramel, citrus, floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium slightly slick body, moderate carbonation, sweetish medium bitter warming finish. (3/5)
Malty and boozy with tropical fruits dominant on the front end. Muddled and lacking direction. And not exactly “hazy”, either. (13/20)
This will be my 5,049th unique Untappd check-in.
