Collective Arts Brewing's take on the session I.P.A. is a hazy golden number by the name of State of Mind. At just 4.4%, this Burlingtonian beer is easy on the liver, but doesn't give up too much flavour.
State
of Mind has a delicious, citrus aroma that tends towards juicy orange.
In terms of mouthfeel, this stuff tightropes precariously between crisp
and thin. However, there's no shortage of flavour, with bitter citrus
singing solo.
Session IPAs and their cousin the
American pale ale are all the rage In Ontario right now, and State of
Mind is yet another quality example of the style. Not as exquisite as
Naughty Neighbour, it's neck and neck with Muskoka's Detour in the next
tier. Sold in 355mL bottles that bear cool art from all over, it must be
mentioned that Collective Arts' brews are easily among Ontario's best
dressed.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
I've been loving everything that Collective Arts is pumping out.
