Appearance: slightly hazy pale straw with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a persistent cap, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: zesty citrus, resiny pine, pale malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, clean medium duration finish. (4/5)
Hey, remember when Cold IPAs were a thing for about five minutes, a couple years ago? Me neither… Anyhoo, this is basically a Pils hopped like a WCIPA (Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, and Centennial). Which I’m perfectly fine with, particularly since Sunshine Rain is one of the few beers that I will grab as a go-to for out on the deck. I’m not sure this is better than Sunshine Rain, but it’s an interesting variation, and that’s not nothing. (15/20)
This will be my 6,228th unique Untappd check-in.
