Bent Stick Brewing Co. Swap the Hops Talus – American Pale Ale at 5% ABV

Bent Stick Brewing Co. Swap the Hops Talus – American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$4.40 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 28-Feb-2023, reviewed 7-Mar-2023)

Appearance: clear pale gold with one fat finger of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, grass, mild coconut, faint tobacco. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly edgy finish. (3/5)

Looks like they’ve dropped the “NEPA” approach on this and returned to an old-school Pale Ale format, this time with Talus. It’s just OK, not all that interesting. (14/20)

This will be my 5,506th unique Untappd check-in.
