Time Lord American IPA is, according to the copy on the 500mL bottle, intended as a tribute to Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, and that homage is evident on the label, which features a dude with a pair of tickers. Time Lord comes from Toronto’s People’s Pint. It contains a robust 7% alcohol and looks a treat with its dull gold colour and durable off-white head.
From the first sniff, I picked up a
snootful of piney hops notes, a whiff of brown sugar, and a touch of
sticky resin. The flavour is a good match to the aroma, with dank,
woodsy hops balanced against subtle caramel.
The bitterness on display with Time Lord is overt, but not smothering. It’s a well-balanced and delightful IPA.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
