“Tropical Session IPA” I’m not sure what’s going on with the flavour profile here, but there’s an edge that I’m interpreting as vegetal or melon rind (or maybe black tea) that doesn’t feel completely intended or style-appropriate. It’s also a bit overwhelmed by the tropical fruit (pineapple and passionfruit) adjunct – but as I often note, I don’t mind a Radler, so that’s not really so much a negative, as an observation. All in all though, I’m not overly impressed. (13/20)
This will be my 5,907th unique Untappd check-in.
