Bellwoods Brewery / Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. Pool Shark – American Double / Imperial IPA at 9.1% ABV (C$6.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 26-Sep-2024, acquired 9-Oct-2024, reviewed 13-Oct-2024)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of fine pale ivory head, good retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, resiny pine. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry mildly warming finish. (4/5)
The Eighty Eight version of the collaboration with Bellwoods. The ABV is a fair bit higher in this one – thus the warming – though they’re otherwise pretty similar. Which is to say, damn fine. No notes. Go get one. (17/20)
This will be my 5,971st unique Untappd check-in.
8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
