Sea Change Brewing Co. Tiger Bomb – American Double / Imperial IPA at 7.8% ABV (C$5.17 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 19-Oct-2021, reviewed 26-Oct-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with two fingers of fluffy white head, excellent retention and well-defined droopy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains, hint of pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium slightly creamy body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Brewer’s notes say it’s double dry hopped with Citra, Vic Secret, BRU-1, and Azacca hops. Aroma and flavour are fairly typical of the new hazy style, with relatively restrained bitterness in a fairly enthusiastic ABV. That’s not to say it’s typical overall – it’s actually done pretty well, and is a better example of the style than most. (16/20)
This will be my 5,101st unique Untappd check-in.
