Fremont Brewing Head Full of Fresh Hops – American IPA at 6.8% ABV (C$6.39 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 4-Oct-2021, acquired 4-Nov-2021, reviewed 14-Nov-2021)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, grass, pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration mildly warming slightly spicy finish. (4/5)
Brewer notes say this is hopped with Citra and Mosaic, and that’s what I’m getting on the front end: lots of tropical and citrus. The malt is neutral, very much in a supporting role, and there’s just enough hop burn and warming on the back end. Nicely done, but a bit short of truly stupendous. (16/20)
This will be my 5,120th unique Untappd check-in.
