Skipping Raindrops V.2
Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium coppery amber with a half finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of mild caramel malt and citrus hops; subdued. Flavor is caramel malt with a little biscuit, citrus and lightly piney hops, muddled citrus and pine with a little grassiness. Medium bodied with light creaminess. An old fashioned tasting IPA that kind of reminded me of early generation IPAs that had a lot of English influence with a combination of caramel and biscuit. Hops are very mellow with no flavors that really stand out. Moderate bitterness in the finish. More English style than West Coast, but hits the spot. Satisfactory.

Pours a nice burnt orange color with a smidge of hop haze and a really nice, foamy oatmeal colored head that provides ample lacing. The nose has orange, honeydew melon, and nectarine aromas, which is interesting.

The nectarines and oranges are forward and the honeydew is also present, with a nice amount of bitterness.. There’s also a subtle malt flavor, providing a balanced flavor profile.

The mouthfeel is medium and fairly dry. This is a nice “fridge IPA” that’s worth a try.

12oz can (dated 3/20/21) poured into 14oz teku. poured a lightly hazy medium-dark yellow color with almost 2 inches of white head that had good retention and lacing.

A light hint of grain was topped bu a big blast of frooty hops.

Same on the tongue, flavors of a fruit candy.

The body was smooth, a bit sticky, sweet, and had a sweetish finish

Drinkability was OK, but I'm not in a hurry for a second one.

Overall, an OK brew. Worth a shot if you see it.
