Collective Arts Ransack the Universe India Pale Ale.
6.8% ABV. 85 IBU. Collective Arts Brewing, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
And now we're trying out another IPA from Collective Arts, so it must have been below that $16 4-pack mark that I'm trying to avoid in favor of more affordable, less trendy beers, that taste just as good, and where the brewers actually took the final step of filtering and clarifying. And once again, it has four different artists designing the label, and I saved my favorite for last. I think it's my favorite. Maybe I liked the buddha bowling mouse better. Or, whatever that was. Never mind.
Hazy (I'd be shocked if it wasn't), bright orange coloring, long-lasting snowy white head.
In the nose: Big citrus. Orange and grapefruit, brittle and dry. A touch of pineapple and mango on the side.
In the mouth: Juicy and bitter at once. Delightful deployment of hoppiness on the palate. Lip smackingly delicious. Medium bodied. Long, hoppy finish. Citrus and tropical flavors at play. This one really delivers. Falls into the category
Galaxy hops from Myrtleford, Victoria in Australia and Mosaic hops from Yakima, Washington, USA, deliver aromas and flavours of tropical fruits, mango and citrus. Light malt body lets the hops shine through, and finishes crisp but not bitter. A hemispheric hop mashup.
