Trash Panda Hazy IPA

Sold in 473mL cans emblazoned with a garbage-raiding, evil raccoon, Trash Panda Hazy IPA is a 5.5% alcohol beer from Vancouver, British Columbia’s Parallel 49 Brewing Company. The beer is hazy, golden orange in colour, and it pours with a sudsy white head.

Trash Panda has a pleasant orange juice aroma. The flavour is also pretty orange-focused, with a creamy, slightly thin mouthfeel, and a finish that adds an element of citrus bitterness to the persistent orange vibe.

The hazy IPA from Parallel 49 was tasty, but it was also a bit thin, and could certainly have stood to be a wee bit stronger booze-wise. I’d also have liked a bit more hops assertiveness.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
