Beer Review #102

Central City Red Racer India Pale Ale

American IPA

Central City , Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

I RATE THIS BEER: 92

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 5.5% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Piña Colada, Sea Shells, Kola Kubes, Mango Chewing Gum, Strawberry Jam, Norwegian Spruce, Raspberry Sherbet // THE TASTE: Spearmint, Cactus, Jícama, Egg Yolk, Grapefruit Preserve, Cilantro, Hearts of Palm // THE BOTTOMLINE: This IPA possesses an incredibly ‘tropical’ vibe - imagine adding a splash of freshly squeezed pineapple juice to your regular West Coast IPA and you’ll be spot on. Under its breezy beach-side cocktail aroma breathes a refreshing and medium bittered India Pale, one that succeeds not by going for the more typical hop overload, but by amping up the lighter, naturally sweet characteristics associated with the style instead. // THE BACKBONE: ? // PRICE POINT: $? | 6x 12oz cans //
