Bellwoods Brewery Cat Lady – American IPA at 7.1% ABV (C$7.95 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 20-Sep-2022, acquired 6-Oct-2022, reviewed 25-Oct-2022)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one finger of fine white head, good retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stone & tropical fruits, pine, cereal grains. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry slightly sharp finish. (3/5)
Double dry-hopped, but I’m not clear whether it’s with Citra and Columbus, or Summit and Simcoe. Presumably the latter, especially Simcoe, would be more likely to give a catty note – but I’m not getting much if any of that, so…? Apparently this is supposed to be a complement to Roman Candle, but if that’s the case I prefer the original. (15/20)
This will be my 5,409th unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
