Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House Ripe – American IPA at 7% ABV (C$8.60 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 28-Feb-2023, reviewed 6-Mar-2023)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of fluffy white head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: slightly muted stone & tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, hints of coconut and earthy pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter slightly warming finish. (4/5)
Brewer notes say this is dry hopped with Citra and Citra Cryo. I wonder if this one was slightly old, but I couldn’t find a date code so I’m unsure. Roughly on par with Over Ripe, and not as good as So Wrong It’s Ripe – but I suspect it’s better when fresh. (15/20)
This will be my 5,504th unique Untappd check-in.
