Eighty-Eight Brewing Summer Slam – Triple IPA at 10.1% ABV (C$6.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 6-Aug-2024, acquired 23-Aug-2024, reviewed 9-Sep-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of pillowy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, cereal grains, hint of coconut. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: smooth medium-full body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration mildly warming finish. (4/5)
Nice one. Juicy and approachable, with very little indication of the double digit happy juice. Hah – and I just checked the brewer web site, and they describe it as having “a lighter haze that creates an illusion that this beer is approachable and light drinking.” Indeed. I’d be quite happy to slam a few of these from the top rope, until I hit the mat. (16/20)
This will be my 5,936th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
