Alley Kat Brewing Co. / Vaycay Brew Co. Road Trippin 2.0 – American Pale Ale at 4.2% ABV (C$5.08 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 29-Aug-2024, acquired 9-Oct-2024, reviewed 26-Oct-2024)
Appearance: hazy straw with two fingers of loose white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mild, citrus zest, cereal grains, melon. (7/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: light body, moderate-lively carbonation, short duration mild finish falling off slightly watery. (3/5)
Not bad. I don’t like criticizing something that’s intended to be light, for being light, but there’s also going too far with it – and this does go just a touch too far. The aroma is milder than I’d like and I think even given the light malt bill and body this could have sustained a bit more dry hopping. Pleasant enough, refreshing and easy to drink, but verging slightly on watery. (14/20)
This will be my 5,987th unique Untappd check-in.
