S.Y.C. Brewing Co. Fancy Brawl – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8% ABV (C$5.65 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 15-Jan-2025, reviewed 1-Feb-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale amber with one fat finger of rocky pile ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, dank resiny pine, cereal grains, hint of resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate-soft carbonation, warming bitter finish. (4/5)
A solid performer. Although it doesn’t particularly excite me, it’s well executed with absolutely no negatives, so I don’t see ranking it any lower as fair. It’s just… not exciting, y’know? (16/20)
This will be my 6,074th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
