From the can: Are you ready to rewind? Obsolete Brewing Co's partnership with The Lakehouse brings you exclusive beers. Enjoy The Great Outdoors with our delicious featured NEIPA. This smooth and well balanced NEIPA blends Columbus, El Dorado, and Simcoe (T-90 + Cryo) hops for an intense, herbal floral and stone fruit aroma. 6.8% ABV/33 IBUJohn Candy and Dan Aykroyd in The Great Outdoors?! Hilarious movie from my childhood that I still watch once every couple years when it inevitably shows up on a random TV channel (some of us still have those..)
I first sampled this IPA at Brandon AG Days several months ago, recall enjoying it, so it should be good!
Appearance: Opaque, deep orange body with a good amount of carbonation. The head is pretty thick with a white-ish hue to it, which gradually goes down to leave behind a really nice layered lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Orange peel galore! It's got lots of leafy hop presence, good amount of citrus, maybe a bit of mango? Tropical and rinds galore.
Taste: Tropical and juicy IPA with pineapple, mango, lemon, a bit of orange zest and a bit of a leafy bitterness at the end. The beer definitely gives off a bit of a booziness to it, which 6.8% feels like it's be a bit higher to me.
Overall Thoughts: Not bad. There's nothing I'd really call out here, it's a your every day NEIPA. I've said this before, likely every time I've ever had a beer from their Be Kind, Rewind series I've wanted to see them do a Strange Brew themed beer.. I'd feel that'd be an Imperial Lager or full out something murky and this Canadian Hoser would drink it! ⬇️
