Named after one of the most ridiculous promotion disasters in Major League Baseball history (do yourself a favour and read about it, or else listen to the hilarious episode of the Hall of Shame podcast on the subject), 10¢ Beer Night Double IPA is a 7.8% beer brewed with wheat and oats. From Toronto, this stuff comes from the excellent Left Field Brewery. It’s sold in 355mL cans. 10¢ is a hazy pale golden ale and it pours with a shock of durable white foam.
10¢ has citrus aromatics that split the difference between sweet and bitter. This brew has a sweet, fruity front end, with notes of both melon and grapefruit. The finish has mini jolt of bitterness and some considerable warmth.
While 10¢ Beer Night is a bit undersized for a double IPA, it doesn’t want for flavour and the melon notes are extremely pleasant. I’d have liked a few more IBUs and a bit more heft through the back end, but otherwise, this was a very nice ale.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
