Hop Butcher For The World Green Moss – American Double / Imperial IPA at 7.5% ABV (C$8.95 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 4-Oct-2021, acquired 4-Nov-2021, reviewed 15-Nov-2021)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: sweet stone fruit, tropical fruit, citrus, light dank pine, pale malt. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: creamy medium-full body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweet slightly sticky medium duration slightly spicy finish. (3/5)
Hopped with Citra and Simcoe, so I’m not sure which is responsible for the stone fruit that seems to lead the way over tropical fruit and citrus. I am, however, getting a lot of sweetness in both the aroma and flavour, and it’s only exaggerated by the thicker body and lower carbonation. That sweetness remains through to the slightly mouth-coating sticky sweet finish. No off flavours, sure, but I really find this one to be too sweet. (14/20)
This will be my 5,122nd unique Untappd check-in.
