Tool Shed Brewing Company Golden Hour – American Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV (C$4.72 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 7-May-2024, reviewed 21-May-2024)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, citrus, cereal grains. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, short clean finish. (4/5)
Started off quite juicy, to the point where I initially wondered if there was a fruit juice adjunct. There was an initial intense pineapple note that I quite liked, and that continued retronasally throughout. Ultimately, though, it just ended up being a little bit thin, coming across a little bit like a watered-down IPA. Good, but not great. (15/20)
This will be my 5,831st unique Untappd check-in.
