Blindman Brewing New Zealand Double IPA – American Double / Imperial IPA at 7.6% ABV | 65 IBU (C$5.26 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 8-Jul-2024, acquired 2-Aug-2024, reviewed 5-Aug-2024)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one fat finger of fluffy off-white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: dank citrus and pine, pale malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry building bitter finish. (4/5)
Apparently brewed with three ANZ hops: Rakau, Nectaron, and Superdelic. Might be my third exposure to Superdelic, and I still think I approve, especially for this style. Nothing really wrong here, except it’s not quite as bright and juicy as I’d like. Decent enough, but a bit short of great. (15/20)
This will be my 5,904th unique Untappd check-in.
