Vancouver Island Brewing Broken Islands – American IPA at 6% ABV | 50 IBU

Vancouver Island Brewing Broken Islands – American IPA at 6% ABV | 50 IBU (C$5.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 2-May-2023, acquired 4-Jul-2023, reviewed 8-Jul-2023)

Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one finger of short-lived white head, minimal spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, bready malt, citrus, hint of mint. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet tending high, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body tending slightly light, moderate-soft carbonation, short duration off-dry finish. (4/5)

“This hazy IPA is anything but expected.” You mean, as in how I expected it to be hazy, but it wasn’t? Nothing wrong with this, other than it being a forgettable entry in a crowded field. (14/20)

This will be my 5,600th unique Untappd check-in.
