Steel & Oak Brewing Co. Radiant Things – American Pale Ale at 4.6% ABV (C$4.55 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 24-Aug-2021, acquired 4-Nov-2021, reviewed 18-Nov-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy ruby-tinged amber with one finger of soapy pale pink head, good retention, moderate soapy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: floral, oily citrus, spicy rye, cereal grains. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, short lightly tart slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
This one has hibiscus and grapefruit peel adjuncts in addition to rye and other grains, making for an interesting blend of botanicals and malts. Fairly pleasant, and I definitely appreciate the fact that the sweetness isn’t excessive, preventing the floral component from becoming perfumy. It is, though, a little astringent through the finish. (14/20)
This will be my 5,126th unique Untappd check-in.
