Situation Brewing Clean Bite – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8.2% ABV | 60 IBU (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 5-Oct-2021, acquired 19-Oct-2021, reviewed 21-Oct-2021)
Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus zest, caramel, earth, pine resin. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium slightly slick body, moderate carbonation, sweetish building lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
The can says it’s hopped with “mounds of Sabro and Mosaic”, but I’m just getting a typical starts-with-C citrus fighting for dominance with sweet caramel, and earthy pine coming up the rear. I might actually have scored it higher had there been no indication of the hops used, but this is actually a little disappointing. (14/20)
This will be my 5,098th unique Untappd check-in.
