Brasserie Dunham / Boréale Sierra Yakima – American Pale Ale at 5.6% ABV (C$7.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 5-Dec-2022, acquired 28-Feb-2023, reviewed 2-Mar-2023)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with two fat fingers of loose pale ivory head diminishing gradually to a thick cap, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus pith and flesh, stone fruit, cereal grains, resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
I can’t find any brewer’s notes for this. Secondary sources indicate it’s dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin, but I can’t say I’m getting any vinous notes. It is, however, brightly juicy and very drinkable. They call it a “tribute from the forerunners of the style that was adapted to today’s taste” – which, language mutilation aside, is a fair description: an APA with modern hops. (16/20)
This will be my 5,498th unique Untappd check-in.
