Folding Mountain Brewing Collab Series: Summer Collective IPA #8 – American IPA at 6% ABV | 75 IBU (C$5.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 9-Jul-2025, acquired 24-Jul-2025, reviewed 28-Jul-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale amber with one fat finger of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, light herbal. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, lingering building bitter warming finish. (3/5)
Slightly aggressive and edgy, combining some facets of the West Coast and Hazy styles. It doesn’t completely work, and in particular I find the lingering bitterness emphasizes the herbal, almost liquorice-like note through the finish. It’s not unpleasant, as such, just maybe not entirely completely balanced. (14/20)
This will be my 6,163rd unique Untappd check-in.
