Named in honour of a man reputed to be one of the fastest to ever play baseball, Cool Papa Bell IPA is Left Field Brewery’s tribute to the Negro League star. The beer, brewed in Toronto, is a 6.7% banger that comes in 355mL cans.
CPB is a hazy IPA with a dull gold hue. It pours with a sudsy white head. Cool Papa has a sweet and creamy nose, built around berry and stone fruit, with a little citrus bitterness. The flavour has a wee coconut lilt, and lots of fruit flavour, wrapped around a velvety mouthfeel. The back end has some bitterness, but it’s limited.
Cool Papa is a pretty solid hazy IPA. It’s a bit too sweet, but nowhere near offensively so. The coconut tint isn’t my fave, but it is subtle and does result in a unique flavour.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
