Vancouver Island Brewing Thrashin’ Caddy – American Double / Imperial IPA at 8% ABV | 40 IBU (C$6.15 at Collective, 568 ml, packaged on 26-Jan-2026, acquired 7-Mar-2026, reviewed 7-Mar-2026)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy fuzzy peach, tangerine, . (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration sweetish finish. (4/5)
I don’t dislike this, but it’s pretty adjunct-heavy, with fruit juice dominating the front end. That being said, there’s enough bitter and warming through the finish to remind you that, yes, this is a DIPA. Call it a guilty pleasure, I suppose. (14/20)
This will be my 6,360th unique Untappd check-in.
