Long Hop Brewing Co. NEIPA Strata – American IPA at 6.5% ABV | 43 IBU (C$4.50 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 2-Sep-2021, acquired 2-Dec-2021, reviewed 2-Dec-2021)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of rocky white head, excellent retention and heavy clingy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: field berries, dank resiny pine, citrus, tropical fruit. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lightly spicy finish. (4/5)
Starts off more fruity and berry-like, but there’s a dank pine note that grows as the pint progresses and warms. Not the brightest or juiciest, and sometimes I catch a hint that isn’t all that pleasant, but not bad overall. (15/20)
This will be my 5,141st unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
