Cabin Brewing Company Hyper Saturation – American IPA at 7% ABV (C$6.14 at Okotoks Co-Op, 473 ml, packaged on 23-Nov-2024, acquired 12-Dec-2024, reviewed 18-Dec-2024)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of pillowy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, citrus, cereal grains. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish medium duration finish. (4/5)
See, the thing about Cabin is that they’re actually world-class, so when they try to be all cynically ironic and hype-tastic, it still works. Yeah, they pretty much threw the kitchen sink at it and it’s a little bit over the top – so? My only nitpick of this one is that ultimately it’s a bit too sweet for my preference. Others might well disagree, but this is my review, so there. (16/20)
This will be my 6,050th unique Untappd check-in.
