The Establishment Brewing Company Blinding Lights – American IPA at 6.8% ABV (C$6.15 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 29-Sep-2025, acquired 6-Oct-2025, reviewed 8-Oct-2025)
Appearance: clear pale gold with one finger of fine white head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, moderate spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: mixed berries, citrus, resiny pine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, medium duration finish with lingering dank. (4/5)
“Mosaic, Citra, Idaho 7” It’s not your father’s WCIPA, that’s for sure: the dank pine on the aroma doesn’t translate through into big bitter on the tongue. Pretty easy-drinking and approachable for a fairly enthusiastic ABV. (16/20)
This will be my 6,230th unique Untappd check-in.
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
