Cabin Brewing Company Chroma – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8% ABV (C$5.53 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 14-Sep-2022, acquired 6-Oct-2022, reviewed 8-Oct-2022)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of pillow white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: grape, citrus, tropical fruit, pine, cereal grains. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium slightly soft body, sweetish medium bitter finish. (4/5)
The label says “Hazy Citra IPA w/ Phantasm”, and three versions of Citra (regular, cryo, and extract) in addition to Phantasm powder provide pretty much exactly the brightly juicy aroma and flavour I look for in the style. It’s just a touch too sweet for my preference, which isn’t unexpected given the big ABV, but I suspect that could be balanced out by a bit more bittering in the boil. Still and all, very very good. (17/20)
This will be my 5,395th unique Untappd check-in.
8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
