High River Brewing Co. / Big Beaver Brewing Midway Wet Hop Pale Ale – American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$4.36 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 6-Oct-2022, reviewed 28-Oct-2022)
Appearance: slightly chill hazed medium gold with one finger of rocky white head, good retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: herbal/grass, biscuity malt, light floral/berry. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
Pretty decent, but a little old-fashioned in the herbal grassiness of the hop profile. Other might prefer that more traditional approach, so this largely comes down to personal preference. On the other hand, since I’m the person doing the preferring, I’m gonna go with my score being a little lower than it might have been with a more modern hop selection. (15/20)
This will be my 5,411th unique Untappd check-in.
