Town Brewery Trove--Finer Things

Finer Things is a hazy IPA from Whitby, Ontario’s Town Brewery. Sold in 473mL cans with paisley labels, this stuff has got a decent 6.4%. The beer is orange gold, with a blanket of white suds.

FT has a surprisingly mild aroma—it has juicy citrus notes and a slightly floral hops vibe. The flavour is considerably more vibrant. It’s packed with orange notes as well as a hint of vanilla sweetness. The back end is modestly bitter, but the sweetness persists.

There ain’t really a thing wrong with Finer Things—it’s a well-made beer with a decent flavour—but among hazy IPAs, this one doesn’t really stand out all that much, other than the lilt of vanilla. A good beer, but not a game-changer. I’d definitely buy it again though.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
