Eighty-Eight Brewing Careless Whisper – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8.0% ABV (C$6.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 26-Nov-2024, acquired 15-Jan-2025, reviewed 22-Jan-2025)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one finger of fine white head, excellent retention and well-defined lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, white grape, citrus, resiny pine, cereal grains. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate carbonation, medium duration mildly warming finish. (4/5)
Very nice. I generally quite enjoy Eighty-Eight’s offerings, but this one is definitely at the top end of the spectrum for them. It definitely makes the most of the underlying malt to support the emphatic hopping to the fullest, without coming across as either excessively sweet or boozy. (17/20)
This will be my 6,068th unique Untappd check-in.
8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
