All Together India Pale Ale

 

According to the 355mL can, All Together India Pale Ale is billed as a “worldwide collaboration brewed to support hospitality professionals”. The collab is spearheaded by Other Half Brewing in Brooklyn, NY, and this particular iteration comes from Eastbound Brewing Co. The label states that a “portion of the proceeds from this beer will be used as a helping hand to support the out of work members of our own Eastbound team during this tough time.”

This take on All Together is a 6.5% IPA. It’s a modestly hazy and enthusiastically carbonated beer with a nice golden colour and a fluffy white head. The aromatics are juicy, sweet, and a touch yeasty—it has citrus notes, pineapple, and some berry too. The flavour has some juiciness well balanced against a respectable bitterness, with orange juice, grapefruit, and floral hops.

This is a pretty simple IPA, with a nice flavour. It isn’t all that memorable, but the philanthropic and collaborative nature of the beer makes it a solid choice.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
