Twin Sails Brewing Locals Only – American Pale Ale at 4.8% ABV | 37 IBU (C$5.95 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Apr-2024, reviewed 6-May-2024)
Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate stringy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: resiny pine, caramel, herbal, citrus. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration bitter finish. (4/5)
Columbus hops in the whirlpool, Talus, Eclipse, and Chinook hops in the dry hop. A well-executed example of a fairly classic style, that on the basis of flavour might well be considered an IPA were it not for the slightly light ABV. This apparently makes it a flavourful Pale instead, with the benefit of being light enough to allow you to drink more of them. I really like this style, so I might be guilty of being slightly enthusiastic in my scoring, but this really is quite a nice little beer. (16/20)
This will be my 5,813th unique Untappd check-in.
