Superflux Beer Company Raingod – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$6.95 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Jun-2026, reviewed 25-Jun-2026)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, cereal grains. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, medium duration off-dry finish. (3/5)
Simcoe, Citra Cryo, and Tangier hops. As far as I’m concerned, the Rain God can fuck all the way off this spring. My weather complaints aside, I’m not completely sold on this one – in particular, I find it tends slightly too light for the style, verging on thin. And, the aroma and flavour follow suit, both being just a touch less emphatic than I’d like for the style. It’s fine, but it’s not up to their “normal standard” (which I put in quotes because it’s frankly among the highest of any brewery I know: for n=25, μ=7.9 & σ=0.51). (15/20)
This will be my 6434th unique Untappd check-in.
