DuClaw Brewing Company Venom – American IPA at 6.5% ABV | 55 IBU (C$5.53 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 18-Aug-2021, acquired 1-Oct-2021, reviewed 16-Oct-2021)
Appearance: particulate-laden pale amber with two fingers of fine pale ivory head, good retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: caramel, pine, citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate carbonation, off-dry building lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
Brewer notes indicated the malts are Pilsner, Biscuit, & Crystal 60, and the hops Chinook, Columbus, Cascade, Simcoe, & Citra. In other words, it’s every bit as traditional as you might expect. Well implemented, but just not all that interesting. (15/20)
This will be my 5,094th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
