Modist Brewing Co. Double False Pattern – American Double / Imperial IPA at 7.5% ABV (C$8.85 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-Nov-2022, reviewed 19-Nov-2022)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fat fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stone & tropical fruits, mild resiny pine, citrus, cereal grains. (9/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium-full body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish medium duration finish. (4/5)
The label says this is double dry-hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe, while the brewer notes give a little more detail, indicating “double dry hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe, Cryo Mosaic and Cryo Simcoe.” That combined with the oats in the malt bill make for an overall fruit juice-like finish, or perhaps a tropical fruit nectar. The sweetness tends a little high, but isn’t inappropriate for the overall effect. Lots of fun, and a pretty damn fine example of the style. (17/20)
This will be my 5,428th unique Untappd check-in.
