Cabin Brewing Company Private Universe – American IPA at 7% ABV | 40 IBU (C$4.90 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 24-Mar-2022, acquired 7-Apr-2022, reviewed 11-Apr-2022)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one finger of fine white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: pithy citrus, dank resin, crackery Pilsner malt. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Definitely a different aroma going on here: pithy citrus and loads of dank sticky icky, but on a Czech Pilsner-like malt note. It’s weird, but in a good way. Brewer notes indicate Galaxy, Citra and Cryo Pop hops, with pilsner malt (called it!), wheat and oats, “that simply smells like endless summer.” Yeah, well, that might be – but if that’s the case, your summer involves a lot more pot than mine. Oh, and I’m currently reading Philip José Farmer’s World of Tiers, which is set in – wouldn’t you know it? – a private pocket universe. (16/20)
This will be my 5,277th unique Untappd check-in.
