Belching Beaver Brewery Dam Good Decade Terps IPA – American IPA at 6.9% ABV (C$5.22 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 20-Oct-2022, acquired 1-Dec-2022, reviewed 2-Dec-2022)

Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one fat finger of rocky white head, good retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy tropical & stone fruit, melon, cereal grains, floral, mild dank resin, light lactose. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter finish. (4/5)

Hopped with El Dorado, Simcoe, & Mosaic. Interesting complexity in the aroma with some atypical notes that I’m finding hard to identify – maybe mostly due to the floral terpenes, which seem to change the overall profile while not being overwhelming in and of themselves. Good fun. (16/20)

This will be my 5,436th unique Untappd check-in.
