Backcountry Brewing See You, Space Cowboy – American IPA at 6.4% ABV | 30 IBU (C$7.45 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 24-Jul-2025, reviewed 2-Aug-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim and ring, spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy tropical fruit, citrus, cereal grains, resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: smooth medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish medium duration finish. (3/5)
“Brewed with Nectaron and Citra.” Opens with a pleasantly juicy aroma and decent flavour, but tends just a little too sweet through the finish for my preference. It’s fine, and there are no big negatives, but overall there’s not a whole lot to distinguish this in an extremely crowded field. (14/20)
This will be my 6,172nd unique Untappd check-in.
