Born in Toronto’s Stockyards District, Cheat Code is a dry-hopped IPA from Rainhard Brewing. With a bit of heft at 6.5%, CC comes in nifty old school cans reminiscent of my earliest video game memories. The beer is brewed with a trio of hops: Citra, Galaxy, and Nelson Sauvin.
CC is hazy and gold, with a boisterous white foam. It has an agreeable citrus and berry aromatic blend and a flavour to match. Grapefruit, OJ, and strawberry form the nucleus of the flavour, with a dank and hoppy finish that follows closely.
I purchased six cans of Cheat Code on a sweltering July Friday and found them all devoured at an almost unreasonable rate. This isn’t an innovative IPA, but it’s a delightful one.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
