O’Creek Brewing Co. Citra In A Galaxy – American IPA at 6% ABV (C$5.22 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 2-Aug-2024, reviewed 4-Aug-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with a massive fluffy ivory head diminishing gradually to a thick cap, heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, resiny pine, cereal grains. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
New brewery from the other side of the country. Hopping, as one would expect from the name, is Citra and Galaxy, and the flavour profile follows pretty much as you’d expect. Neither the aroma nor the taste really break out to that next level, though, so I’ve got to mark it just shy of that world-class tier, and consign it to the “good, not great” category. (15/20)
This will be my 5,901st unique Untappd check-in.
