Tell Me Fortunes Double IPA

Enjoyed on a balmy New Year's Day whilst assembling a puzzle with the Bitter Wife, Tell Me Fortunes Double IPA is an 8% ale from the team at Rainhard Brewing in Toronto. Sold in 473mL cans with a crystal ball motif, the beer inside is dull orange-gold and pours with a lacy off-white head.

TMF has aromatics that wander from tropical fruit to resin, with a flash of booze. The flavour is a bit dank and a bunch boozy, with sweet tropical fruit throughout. The finish has a bit of sticky bitterness, but remains sweet.

Rainhard makes some good IPAs and DIPAs, but I don’t know that I’d count Tell Me Fortunes among my favourites. It’s frankly a bit too sweet for my tastes.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
