Boombox Brewing Company Ultra Deluxe – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$4.35 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 6-Oct-2022, reviewed 31-Oct-2022)
Appearance: hazy muddy deep gold with one fat finger of fine pale ivory head diminishing rapidly to a thin cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild, citrus, pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, sweetish medium duration warming finish. (4/5)
Can’t find confirmation, but this seems to be single-hop Citra. The aroma is nice, but not as bright as I like for the style. The flavour, on the other hand, is quite pleasant, and there’s a nice resiny bitterness in the finish that I very much appreciate. I suspect this might be a fair bit better fresh on tap, but as it stand it falls a little short of world-class. (15/20)
This will be my 5,414th unique Untappd check-in.
