Outer Range Brewing Co. Lawn Games – American IPA at 6.7% ABV (C$7.95 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Aug-2024, reviewed 3-Sep-2024)
Appearance: slightly chill hazed pale gold with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: dank pine resin, citrus, bready caramel, grass, hint of vinous grape. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (4/5)
Hops: Centennial, Nelson. So, this “West Coast” is what yesterday’s “West Coast” from the very same brewery was most emphatically NOT: to wit, a West Coast. Dank resiny pine and citrus on a bready caramel foundation, with just a vinous hint from the Nelson hops. That being said, I’m not sure the Nelson adds much one way or the other, so I’m not sure I would have chosen it, but ultimately I have no complaints here. (16/20)
This will be my 5,928th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
