Odin Brewing Company Loki Fresh Hop – American IPA at 7% ABV (C$3.00 at Collective, 355 ml, packaged on 6-Oct-2021, acquired 4-Nov-2021, reviewed 26-Nov-2021)
Appearance: clear pale gold with a massive fine white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: sweet citrus, floral, cereal grains, pine, black tea. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate building bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
Despite this being a fresh hop, there’s a lot of sweet malt making itself known here, with an almost honey-like note contributing significantly to the citrus front end. There’s also a big floral, almost vegetal note through the mid, and a bitter, almost astringent black tea note in the finish. Interesting, but not a complete success. (15/20)
This will be my 5,136th unique Untappd check-in.
