Verse The World

 

Rainhard Brewing in Toronto has been pumping out a slew of pretty nice IPAs and pale ales and Verse The World is another example. The 5.8% pale ale is brewed with Barbe Rouge, Citra, Columbus, and Vic Secret hops. It’s sold in 473mL cans.

The beer is near clear with a handsome gold colour and a decent layer of off-white head. VTW has tangerine and grapefruit aromatics. The flavour is a little underwhelming—it has citrus elements, but they aren’t as well developed at the nose led me to expect. The beer isn’t too sweet, which is nice, and the finish has a middling grapefruit bitterness.

I wanted to like this more than I did, but it wasn’t disappointing or anything. It’s just a decent pale ale.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
