Belching Beaver Brewery Deftones Ceremony – American IPA at 6.5% ABV | 30 IBU (C$5.04 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 23-Aug-2021, acquired 1-Oct-2021, reviewed 15-Oct-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one finger of rocky off-white head, good retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy citrus, resin pine, tropical fruit, pale malt, light leather / tobacco. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
As has now pretty much become a tradition with me, I listened to the track while drinking the beer. Much to my approval, this one is all about the hops, with the malt being very clean and neutral. In fact, the hops are almost all aroma, with very little bitterness. Only a couple of the Deftones collaborations I’ve had so far (I want to say, six?) have disappointed me, and this isn’t one of them. (16/20)
This will be my 5,091st unique Untappd check-in.
