Hard Knox Brewery Beyond The Pines – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$3.75 at Hard Knox Brewery, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 10-Nov-2024, reviewed 10-Nov-2024)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with two fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, cereal grains, citrus, faint pine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky medium duration finish. (3/5)
I’m assuming this is super fresh, because I bought it from their booth at the Millville Christmas Market today, so no excuses there. It’s not terrible, but there’s precious little pine, and if anything I’m being generous on my rating here because it fell off fast as it warmed. But, I was just so happy to have my boys home and having a beer with me that I’m giving it sappy good vibes scoring. (14/20)
This will be my 6,002nd unique Untappd check-in.
