The Establishment Brewing Company Trippin’ The Life Fantastic – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8.2% ABV (C$5.62 at Safeway Liquor D’Arcy Crossing, 473 ml, packaged on 24-Oct-2025, acquired 4-Nov-2025, reviewed 4-Nov-2025)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with two fat fingers of pillowy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: orange creamsicle, stone fruit, hint of pine resin. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter mildly warming finish. (4/5)
“Rakau, Peacharine, Motueka” Ho-hum, another great Imperial Hazy from a local brewery. I assume this is what people who live near Treehouse or Trillium feel like. As far as I know, this is my first encounter with Peacharine hops, a dual-purpose from NZ, but I rather suspect it won’t be my last. (17/20)
This will be my 6,255th unique Untappd check-in.
8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
