Fox Force 5 IPA is both a 6.5% brew from Indie Alehouse and an excellent shout out to Pulp Fiction. The beer, born in Toronto, is sold in 500mL bottles with beautiful labels with more nods to the film. The beer is made with Voss Kveik yeast, as well as the duo of Enigma and Lotus hops. It’s a hazy brown-gold colour and it pours with a this white foam.
FF5
has an agreeable aroma reminiscent of fruit leather—sweet and a bit
quirky, with a hint of citrus bitterness. The flavour is also built
around dried fruit notes, with a citrus/berry blend. There is a wee bit
of bitterness and an understated, earthy yeastiness.
Clever
branding, great flavours, and high refreshment value makes this a nifty
little IPA worth tracking down. The deft use of kveik—the brewing
world’s hottest microbe—is also a nice touch.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
