Brewed in Collective Arts Brewing’s new Toronto facility, Cautionary Tale IPA w/Sabro, Citra & HBC 472 Hops is a hazy 7% ale. The beer comes in 473mL cans that feature a lovely “stormy seas of the mind” design. CT has a dull gold appearance, lots of haze, and a fluffy white head.
CT has aromatics that are reminiscent of piña colada—lots of coconut and a bit of juicy pineapple. The flavour tends toward sweetness, with coconut in the spotlight, and also just a touch of vanilla. The back end has a slight degree of bitterness, with a citrus twang.
This brew has a nice texture and great strength, but I don’t love it. There isn’t a thing wrong with Cautionary Tale—I just happen to have a disinclination to the Sabro hop and beers that taste a little too much like coconut. But if that’s your jam, this beer is bound to tickle you pink.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
