Anchorage Brewing Company Dead? – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8.4% ABV (C$11.65 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 14-Feb-2024, acquired 28-May-2024, reviewed 8-Jun-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of pillowy pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stone fruit, citrus, cereal grains, tropical fruit, light dank. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium-full body, moderate carbonation, medium duration mildly warming finish. (4/5)
Brewed with Phantasm Powder, Cashmere and Mosaic hops. I waffled a little on the scoring here, because although I found the flavours reasonably pleasant, I was left a little short of impressed – but I wasn’t not entirely convinced that wasn’t simply because I was simply getting a little bored. So, although I initially marked it a little lower, I ended up here. (16/20)
This will be my 5,849th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
