At 8.5%, Rorschach Brewing Co.’s Reverie Hawaiian Punch Dreamsicle Double IPA, is a hefty ale—a novelty that’ll get your ass drunk. Sold in 355mL cans, this Torontonian brew is made with apricot purée, guava purée, orange purée, passionfruit purée, pineapple purée, lactose sugar, oats, wheat, and vanilla. The beer is a cloudy, slightly sludgy dull orange colour with a white head.
As should come to
absolutely no one’s surprise, this brew is extremely juicy, both in its
nose and its flavour. The aroma is sweet and tropical, with little
bitterness. The flavour is extremely sweet, with a bit of tartness
lurking, and a touch of bitterness. Moreover, there’s a lot of booziness
in this odd ale.
I appreciate the quirkiness
of this big and complicated ale; however, the truth is that I didn’t
love it. I liked the strength and the smooth lactose texture, but I
found it too sweet and there was a bit of misplaced funk at the back end
that gave the beet an “over-ripe” vibe.
Rating: 6.0 out of 10.
