The Establishment Brewing Company / Long Hop Brewing Co. Dream Your Life Away – American IPA at 6.8% ABV

The Establishment Brewing Company / Long Hop Brewing Co. Dream Your Life Away – American IPA at 6.8% ABV (C$6.15 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 3-Jul-2025, acquired 24-Jul-2025, reviewed 27-Jul-2025)

Appearance: hazy pale straw with one fat finger of pillowy white head, excellent retention and heavy soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, field berries, cereal grains, light dank resin. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration finish with mild hop burn. (3/5)

“Featuring Citra, Strata, Freestyle Nectaron”. Quite pleasant on the front end, with juicy citrus and fruit on a clean cereal grain base. There’s a little more hop burn through the finish than I think appropriate for the style, though, which makes it feel a little hotter than it really is. It’s not a miss, but they haven’t really nailed it, either. (15/20)

This will be my 6,159th unique Untappd check-in.
