Drekker Brewing Co. Clueless Wonder – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8.3% ABV (C$9.80 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 21-Dec-2023, acquired 23-Feb-2024, reviewed 2-Mar-2024)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with one fat finger of rocky pale ivory white head, good retention and heavy soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: juicy melon, tropical fruit, citrus, oats. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium-full body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration mildly warming finish. (4/5)
Hopped with Mosaic, Citra, Azacca, Cashmere, Lemon Drop, 007, and Huell Melon. So yeah, a bit of a kitchen sink approach, but it’s fairly cohesive overall, and not as muddled as some other hop combinations I’ve encountered. It’s soft, smooth and fruity, exactly like I prefer the style to be, and it hides its enthusiastic ABV fairly well. (16/20)
This will be my 5,782nd unique Untappd check-in.
