Lost Orbit Session IPA

Lost Orbit Session IPA is a little 4.5% alcohol, 16 IBU hops delivery system out of Burlington, Ontario. Brewed by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. using flaked oats, it comes in 473mL cans.

 
An extremely cloudy orange-gold, Lost Orbit pours with a lusty white head. It has a pulpy clementine orange nose and a parallel flavour. Somewhat citrus, somewhat tropical, and all juicy. The mouthfeel is a bit of a letdown though, as it is thinner and less crisp than I’d have liked—in this respect, I wish Nickel Brook would have taken a page out of their own session ale playbook, because their Naughty Neighbour has an admirably crisp character.

For the amount of flavour slammed into a low alcohol package, drinking a can or two of Lost Orbit is a good use of your time. Sure, it has a crispness deficiency, but it sure tastes good.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
