Captain Lawrence Brewing Company Classic Cut – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$6.95 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 5-Oct-2023, acquired 28-Dec-2023, reviewed 5-Jan-2024)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale amber with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: caramel, citrus, pine, floral, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
I mean, I’d criticize this for being old-fashioned, but they basically straight-up say their intent was to create a classic IPA, and this is that. It would have been a great beer a decade or two ago, so well done? I guess? Still, pretty hard to get excited about it… (15/20)
This will be my 5,730th unique Untappd check-in.
