I spotted a can of
Collective Arts' limited edition Imperial IPA out of
the corner of my eye and knew immediately that it had to be mine.
Brought the 473mL can of 8.5% IIPA home, cracked it, and was broadsided
by a gust of boozy citrus. The aroma of this hazy, dull gold ale is
strong and assertive, wafting up through a loose and thick off-white
head with some force. The flavour wasn't quite as powerful, though still
packed a punch, with its bold grapefruit notes. However, there were
also some understated floral elements that added a bit of depth.
This
Hamiltonian beer comes from one of Ontario's most interesting
breweries. Their Imperial IPA lived up to my expectations and left me
quite pleased. A bit more in the IBU department might have suited the
potency of this beer's aromatics, but that didn't stop CA's effort from
being a quality IIPA.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
