Driftwood Brewery It’ll Be Fine Southern Hemispehre IPA – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$4.65 at Collective, 473 ml, best before 25-Feb-2022, acquired 19-Oct-2021, reviewed 27-Oct-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with two fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: stone fruit, citrus, cereal grains, tropical fruit, black pepper, earthy pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
The labels says they used Galaxy and Moutere hops for this one, and the brewer’s notes also indicates Summit. It’s not quite as exciting as I like to see for ANZ hops. On the other hand, it’s actually pretty reminiscent of some of the other core releases by this brewer – which isn’t a criticism, by any means. Good, but not quite the juice bomb I was hoping for. (15/20)
This will be my 5,102nd unique Untappd check-in.
