Collective Project: IPA No. 3
Collective Arts Brewing

 

 

 

The No. 3 is better than No. 4.

 

 

Had a few of these when they were in cans & forgot to review. Recently got a growler at the brewery so here we go. Pours straw colour with a nice light uniform cloudiness. Head is small white & leaves some lacing. Aroma of nice tropical hops. Taste follows with a nice burst of tropical fruit, with perhaps melon & passionfruit tastes being most pronounced. Mouthfeel is smooth and almost sticky with a grapefruit sourness at the end of each sip & just a hint of bitterness. Another great IPA from the Project series!

 

 

 

Can dated 9/18/17, about 2 months old.
Pours a clouded saturated orange, decent amount of foam.
Smells like sweet caramel malt...where’s the Citra?
Tastes bland and malty sweet with a faint citrus peel bitterness.
Medium bodied, somewhat smooth feel. Hops have already faded. Boo.
Hemisphere IPA was good, but these guys need to step up their game on this one.

 

Absolutely outstanding and very modern IPA. Hazy yellow with visible sediment. Extremely lush body with lots of delicate foam. Pure aromas of pineapple and tangerine. The palate is racy and juicy and very refreshing. The combination of Crystal and Citra hops could not have worked any better here. Just excellent.
[16 oz. can into a pint glass]

A slightly hazy golden pour with decent white head; smells of citrus hops, slightly bready. Taste is mildly hoppy tropical fruit, grapefruit - subdued bitterness with bit of sweetness. Really enjoyable.

8oz glass at Beer Revolution in downtown Edmonton west. Don't know why we fail to receive the cans of this out here, but this is fine too.

This beer appears a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves some decent sloppy paint job lace around the glass as things slowly abate.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, some orange and white grapefruit citrus flesh, a further stone fruitiness, and more leafy, weedy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a strong stoney flintiness, muddled exotic and domestic fruit esters, hints of earthy yeast, and more zingy leafy, grassy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess skulking in when no one was looking. It finishes trending dry, the lingering malt and attendant fruit contending with a heady bitterness.

Overall - after a bit of cursory research, it seems that this was made with Crystal and Citra hops, which pretty much checks out. Fresh, enjoyable, and a worthy entry in this particular project series.

 

 

Cloudy honey color with 4F head in a Spiegelau glass
Citrus, earthy, floral aroma, nutty,
Spicy, carbonated- light and just enough for this beer.
Taste: Passion fruit? Grapefruit, packed with citrus.
Light spicy finish.
Love this beer, the brewery and this series of IPAs.

Pored lightly hazy medium gold with decent head. Medium retention but nice sticky lacing. Aroma is very malty and the taste follows. I don't pick up much more than the maltiness. Minimal hop character. Just enough bitterness to not be cloying. Nice full mouthfeel.
