Born in Toronto, Godspeed Brewery’s Saikai Original Vermont Inspired IPA is a 6.4% ale. Sold in 355mL cans, the beer is hazy golden brew with a thin cover of eggshell head and a dusting of yeasty sediment.
Saikai has an extremely mild aroma that contains elements of honey and fruit sweetness. The flavour is considerably more substantial, with notes of melon and apricot. The beer has very little bitterness and a fairly thin texture.
I’ve consistently been a fan of Godspeed Brewery’s offerings, and while Saikai might not have been my favourite, it’s still a decent ale. I’d have liked less sediment and less sweetness, but it’s alright.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
