Offshoot Beer Co. Papaya Playa – American IPA at 6.8% ABV (C$6.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 5-Mar-2024, acquired 2-Aug-2024, reviewed 6-Aug-2024)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with two fingers of loose white head, good retention and spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: melon, tropical fruit. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, lively carbonation, short lightly tart finish. (4/5)
The “with papaya and melon” pretty much overwhelms everything else. It’s not bad, but the melon in particular is almost rind- or vegetal-like, especially towards the end of the pint. Not overly memorable. (14/20)
This will be my 5,905th unique Untappd check-in.
