Town Square Brewing Cheetos & Chill – American IPA at 6.0% ABV (C$5.90 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 15-Jan-2025, reviewed 31-Jan-2025)
Appearance: clear medium gold with one fat finger of fluffy white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: resiny pine, caramel, corn chips, hint of cheese. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
I initially couldn’t convince myself there was any cheese there, even retronasally. I started to get just a hint upon warming, and when burping. I got the base corn chips much sooner though – funny that that would survive the yeast but the cheese wouldn’t. I mean, good on them for trying something fun and different, and it’s certainly not terrible – but ultimately it isn’t a clear success. (13/20)
This will be my 6,072nd unique Untappd check-in.
