Arcadia Brewing Co. Go Back to The… West Coast IPA – American IPA at 6% ABV (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 28-Sep-2021, acquired 19-Oct-2021, reviewed 1-Nov-2021)
Appearance: clear medium goldwith two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: resiny pine, caramel, citrus, hint of floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering building bitter finish. (4/5)
A very straightforward traditional West Coast-style IPA, with oily resiny pine on a caramel backbone, with a little citrus (and maybe a hint of floral?) behind. Literally exactly what it says on the label, and done sufficiently well to escape out-and-out boredom – but not sufficiently interestingly to kick it to the next level. (15/20)
This will be my 5,106th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
