Superflux Beer Company Toroa – American IPA at 6.5% ABV (C$6.90 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Jun-2026, reviewed 25-Jun-2026)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with one fat finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: cucumber, banana, melon, citrus, tropical fruit, earth. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, medium duration off-dry finish. (3/5)
Citra, Citra Cryo, Motueka, Rakau, and Nectaron. Nope. Not even. But, let’s be clear here: there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this, structurally. It’s just an utterly wrong flavour profile for the style. It’s almost savoury or umami instead of fruit, and in that sense almost reminds me of a gin and tonic with cucumber instead of lime. (Which, by the way, is a great drink – try it some time!) Congrats, Superflux, this is officially my least favourite beer you’ve ever made. (13/20)
This will be my 6435th unique Untappd check-in.
