Wrath of Putin DBL IPA

Ostensibly a double IPA from Nackawic, New Brunswick, Wrath of Putin DBL IPA should, in my opinion, be classed as a conventional IPA. At just 7%, Wrath may well be stronger than other IPAs from Big Axe Brewery, but that doesn’t make it a double.

The beer comes in 375mL bottles. It’s a swampy bronze grog that pours with quite a lot of sediment and a creamy head. Wrath has a piney, sweet, and slightly spicy. The beer has some malty bulk and sweetness up front, and an evergreen hops finish.
 

All in, Wrath of Putin DBL IPA is either a pretty good IPA or an understrength and underwhelming double. But classification aside, the beer tastes pretty nice, if a bit light on bitterness.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
