Live Laugh Love

 

Billed as an “Inspirational IPA”, Indie Alehouse’s Live Laugh Love is a 6.5% hazer. The Toronto beer comes in amazing 473mL cans with the cheery name set out in a hilarious death metal font. The beer is built around a trio of hops: Citra, Lotus, and Strata. Dull orange-gold in colour, Lx3 pours with a velvety eggshell head.

Lx3 has a bright, citrusy aroma, accented with a whisper of vanilla. This hazy IPA has grapefruit and OJ notes, a sticky resin/citrus finish, and just enough sweetness to add some balance.

Live Laugh Love is a delightful little ale—lots to like, not a lot to complain about, and it left me feeling well-pleased. Other than the packaging and the “inspirational” handle, the beer might not be all that memorable, but it’s doubtlessly well-made.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
