Indie Alehouse Brewing Co. Love Triangle 15 – American IPA at 6% ABV (C$6.07 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-Nov-2022, reviewed 22-Nov-2022)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, light field berries, hint of mint. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium soft body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
This variation hopped with Solero, Exp 09326, and Trident. I have a note that I tried 09326 way back in 2018, but this is my first exposure to the other two. As far as I can see, the berry note might be the 09326, while the other two seem to be fairly standard Cascade-like fruits and citrus. And “fairly standard” is a pretty good description for this – not a lot to distinguish it in a pretty crowded field. Fine to drink, forgettable when gone. (14/20)
This will be my 5,431st unique Untappd check-in.
