Karbach Brewing Co. Hopadillo Hazy IPA – American IPA at 6% ABV | 20 IBU (US$3.99 at Jetway Mr. Express, 568 ml, best before 3-Apr-2024, acquired 4-Feb-2024, reviewed 4-Feb-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of fluffy pale ivory head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-low carbonation, off-dry short finish. (4/5)
Hopped with Citra and Mosaic; malts are two row pale, flaked wheat, flaked oats, and malted wheat. The aroma and flavour start off quite pleasant and style-appropriate for a Hazy, but both fade a bit faster than I’d like, tempering my initial enthusiasm. I thought I was going to like this better than the original Hopadillo, but at the end of the day I’m scoring it about the same. (15/20)
This will be my 5,750th unique Untappd check-in.
