A good beer is like a good sound recording, balanced and pristine. Soft and subdued when it needs to be – In your face and crankin’ when it must. Done right, there’s nothing better than critical listening with a cold pint in your hand. Conceived, created, and brewed in collaboration with Tape Op, Fort George now invites you to put on your headphones and sample a can of Overdub IPA. Pouring a solid gold with a crisp white head, Overdub IPA is a sensory overload of mango and papaya hop aromas, dank grapefruit tones, and mellow citrus finishing notes. This session-style IPA turns down the ABV, and engages the lupulin intensity toggle switch.

Huh, would swore I reviewed this a few years ago, but, NOT! this version is 4.5%ABV. 12oz can (dated 8/14/20) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear golden yellow color with 2/3 inch of white head that had good retention and light lacing.

Nice bright hop aromas grab the nose first, and then soft grains/malt show up in the background.

Similar on the tongue, pine and citrus hops, light grain, and a pleasant bitterness that lingered just enough.

The body was light, crisp, smooth, and had a dry finish.

Drinkability was very nice, it would be easy to knock back a few.

Overall, a nice, easy drinking brew. Worth trying if you see it.

From a 12oz. can purchased at the beer store.

Whiff of pine, touch of citrus, hopness. Taste is basically the same, the right kind of bitterness and just a touch of malt/grain, followed by citrus and sourdough. This is a session IPA with a lot going on. Hop heavy, but that's probably a good thing with a 4.5% IPA. This might be my new favorite session IPA.

Also, awesome label! Plazm Design is still around? Gets my vote for label of the year.

16oz can purchased at Huckleberry’s in Spokane for a sum I can no longer recall, along with a 4-pack of 3-Way. According to the stamp on the bottom of the can, this was canned on March 1, 2016. Like Suicide Squeeze, this was brewed as a collaboration with a musical entity – in this case Tape Op – “The Creative Music Recording Magazine” – and lists a website for obtaining a free sampler.

Poured into a Whistle Punk pint glass, this beer was a somewhat chill-hazed golden amber color, with a finger of off-white foam that receded somewhat quickly and left spotty lace on the sides of the glass.

Big tropical fruit aroma to this. I get pineapple, mango, papaya.

The taste is a bit more complex. In addition to the tropical fruits noted in the nose, there’s also a bit of grapefruity bitterness, though it’s somewhat restrained compared to the sweeter fruity notes. Light, grainy malt flavor along for the ride. The finish is modestly dry.

The body is somewhere between light and medium, with a lightly oily mouthfeel.

This packs a lot of flavor for a Session IPA. I was a little worried about the nearly four month old age of this beer but it doesn’t seem a factor. Apparently this is a spring seasonal, and from here on out it’s on my radar.
