Review Summary:
Made with newer hop varietals Citra, El Dorado and Sorachi Ace, the nose of this Session IPA erupts with notes of mango, tropical fruit and pine. The ale’s hue is apple-juice yellow and unfiltered. A wave of orange and grapefruit backed by prickly pine flavours comes with the first sip, but finishes with hints of soft grain and sweeter pear and pineapple. Bolder, more bitter hop notes are showcased up front, before sweeter, fruitier flavours finish things off — making for a fun interplay of bittersweet on the tongue. Plenty of carbonation combined with judicious hopping that prickly mouthfeel and the bubbles help to boost the ale's lighter body. Great with spicy, herbal Thai or Mexican fare.
