Hard Knox Brewery Wildlands – Session IPA at 4.7% ABV (C$4.40 at Hard Knox Brewery, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 30-Jul-2025, reviewed 30-Jul-2025)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of fluffy white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: zesty citrus, pine, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry moderate bitter finish. (3/5)
Not bad. I flip-flopped a little on scoring, and initially went slightly lower, largely because of the slightly unbalanced bitterness through the finish. Not that I’ve got a problem with hoppy bitterness as such, just that it’s not completely in-spec. But, I got a little more forgiving as the pint progressed, and ultimately decided it was passable. (14/20)
This will be my 6,167th unique Untappd check-in.
