Birthed in stately Kingston, Ontario, Uncharted India Pale is the flagship beer of Stone City Ales. It’s a no nonsense 7% brew sold in 500mL bottles with a sea monster on the label. The beer is hazy. It has a dull, orange-gold appearance and it pours with a substantial cloud of white foam.
This IPA has a sweet and dank aroma—there are tropical and citrus notes, as well as a hit of resin. The flavour has a sweet to bitter movement, with mango and pineapple kicking things off, transitioning into a hempy bitterness that, while still sweet, does stretch its legs a bit to reveal the full 70 IBUs mentioned on the label.
This is a dandy IPA from a brewery that I’m excited to learn more about in the coming days. I’ve got very little to complain about and much to be impressed by. Great strength, agreeable flavour, positive depth. Even a cool label. Win.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
