Cabin Brewing Company Hyperpop – American IPA at 5.2% ABV (C$5.85 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 23-Apr-2026, acquired 29-Apr-2026, reviewed 30-Apr-2026)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with one fat finger of dense white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruit, citrus, cereal grains, light floral. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, medium duration slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
“Erebus, Ekuanot, Dolcita, and Citra”. My first time for Erebus, as far as I can tell, and maybe the second or third for Dolcita. I think I’m getting just a hint of floral in the aroma, and that might be the Erebus – certainly none of the others should be doing that. But, I’m also getting a little astringency – almost a green vegetal note – through the finish. At this point, I think it’s fair to say I know Cabin fairly well (for n=58, μ=7.7 & σ=0.54) and I’ve got to rate this one more than one full standard deviation below average. Still good, mind you, but well into the bottom quartile for this brewer. (14/20)
This will be my 6,392nd unique Untappd check-in.
