Village Brewery Alter Ego – American Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV | 30 IBU (C$4.72 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 29-Feb-2024, acquired 28-May-2024, reviewed 12-Jun-2024)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of loose white head, good retention and spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, slightly sharp slightly vegetal finish. (3/5)
Hopped with CTZ, Galaxy, Riwaka, and Mosaic, malted with Two-Row Alberta malted barley, flaked wheat, and flaked oats, passionfruit adjunct. It’s not bad, but the passionfruit adjunct is somewhat dominant, especially through the finish, where it seems to manifest as a slightly edgy melon rind or vegetal note. (14/20)
This will be my 5,857th unique Untappd check-in.
