Wills Eloïse – American IPA at 6% ABV (C$8.35 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 27-May-2025, acquired 26-Jun-2025, reviewed 1-Jul-2025)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of fluffy pale ivory head, good retention and heavy chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, cereal grains, citrus, hint of dank pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry medium duration slightly sharp finish. (3/5)
Hopped with Mosaic and Motueka. There’s just a little bit of sharpness through the finish that I’m not sold on – it would be fine in a WCIPA, perhaps, but not a hazy. Other than that, there’s not a whole lot negative to say about this – but also not a whole lot to distinguish it in a very crowded field. (15/20)
This will be my 6,142nd unique Untappd check-in.
