Mission Accomplished is an IPA from the much venerated Beau's All Natural Brewing Company, operating out of Vankleek Hill, Ontario. I had a
pint of the cloudy, dull orange nectar on tap at downtown Toronto's
always impressive and well-provisioned Bar Hop. According to B.H.'s beer
list, Mission Accomplished is a North American IPA, and contains a
stocky 6.7% alcohol.
Mission Accomplished arrived
with a thin layer of cream-hued head. Through that emerged a decidedly
citrus hops aroma. Echoing the nose was a flavour that pretty much
screamed grapefruit, from start to finish, and which was joined by a
resinous note as it closes.
Yet another quality
ale from Vankleek Hill, Beau's Mission Accomplished is a study in
citrus, and a pretty enjoyable one. It'd have been more impressive with a
bit more body and a stronger secondary note to compliment the
grapefruit zest, but these are paltry complaints. If you like mighty
citrus notes in your India pales, Mission Accomplished is bound to
satisfy.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
