Ale Architect Brewing Ltd. Joy Wave 3 – American IPA at 7.8% ABV (C$11.38 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-Dec-2025, reviewed 18-Dec-2025)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: citrus zest, tropical and stone fruit, cereal grains. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration slightly tart and edgy finish. (3/5)
Collective Advent #13. Double dry-hopped with Krush, Dolcita, and Vic Secret. Definitely zestier than its predecessors, but carrying a not entirely pleasant bite through the finish. (15/20)
This will be my 6,302nd unique Untappd check-in.
7.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
