Small Gods Brewing Co. Promised Land – American Pale Ale at 4.8% ABV (C$6.25 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Feb-2024, reviewed 27-Feb-2024)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: melon, citrus, herbal. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly sharp finish. (3/5)
“Loaded with Citra, Mosaic, and Idaho 7”. The aroma is OK, but not as bright and punchy as I would have hoped given that malt bill. The taste is a bit less OK, with a sharpness developing through the finish. Even though the body doesn’t actually tend thin, that sharpness in the finish makes it seem slightly that way. For me, this is one of those PAs that seems like a watered-down IPA. Just OK. (13/20)
This will be my 5,779th unique Untappd check-in.
