Mystery Beer D

 Rounding out my Mystery Pack experience was Nickel Brook Brewing Co.’s Beer D, a 4.3% session IPA brewed with wheat and oats. The beer is dull orange under a durable sudsy head. The beer does, however, have a bit more sediment than I’d have liked—it’s not chunky or anything, but it’s not perfect.

D has sweet and fruity aromatics, with mango and apricot notes. Those notes continue into the flavour, which is quite juicy, with an almost candied sweetness. There is also a whisper of pine bitterness in the finish.

While Beer D wasn’t bad, I’d say it was probably my least favourite of the Mystery Pack. Decent flavour, but I’d have liked it to have less sediment and less sweetness.
