Intergalactic Pale Ale - 7venth (Seventh) Sun Brewery

3.5/5  rDev -8.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

First had: on tap at their brewery

Cloudy yellow-orange pour with a solid white head that receded to a thick ringlet and left streaks of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrusy hops and sugar sweetness indicative of a solid malt base. Taste reflected this, a decent balance of biscuity sweet malts and citrusy/piney hops, but a bit on the stale side, leaving a bitter aftertaste. Wasn't bad, just not incredibly fresh or distinctively tasty. Light-medium body, moderate carbonation. Average beer.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5

Based on BJCP guidelines for IPA

Appearance - very hazy with plenty of lacing and head 2/3
Aroma - resinous and piney hop character with grapefruit citrus notes 8/12
Flavor - More resinous and pine flavor hops with grapefruit. High bitterness that lasts through the finish. Dry finish. Lacking in malt character to balance out the high hops. 12/20
Mouthfeel - good carbonation, medium to medium high body with a dry finish. 5/5
Overall - I would prefer more malt character and less in your face bitterness. The resinous/piney/sour grapefruit character is big and bold, but borderline unpleasant. 6/10.

33/50.

Enjoyed this beer on tap at 7venth Sun Brewery in Dunedin.

A: Pours a cloudy dark golden hue with a big, 2-finger, white head that slowly dissipates leaving a nice trail and ending in a persistent lace.

S: Solid hoppy aroma with hints of citrus (mostly orange).

T: Good mix of earthy hops and malts to give a bitter and slightly sweet flavor. Hints of fruits and pine in the background.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation.

O: Really good IPA – would order this again.

Serving type: on-tap
