Superflux Beer Company Semigloss – American IPA at 6.0% ABV (C$6.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 6-Dec-2023, acquired 16-Jan-2024, reviewed 22-Jan-2024)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one finger of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, stone fruit, cereal grains, tropical fruit, resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly astringent finish. (4/5)
Brewer notes say this is dry hopped with Citra, Simcoe, and Idaho 7 Cryo. Overall a bright, cheerful, and approachable NEIPA. I flip-flopped a little on whether the slight sharpness in the finish was a negative or not, and ultimately decided it wasn’t significant enough to affect the final scoring. Can’t say I love a name that reminds me of being balls-deep in home renos, but I guess I can’t mark them down for that. (16/20)
This will be my 5,741st unique Untappd check-in.
