Nickel Brook ZAP! Sour IPA (Cranberry and Ginger)

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Can that pours a slight hazed, light golden-peach colour with a white frothy, long lasting and leaving some nice creamy lines of lacing. Fruity-sour aromas with and orange base, the cranberries that add to the sourness and a blend of ginger spices. The taste is fruity, with the sourness not too strong and the finish being kind of thin and quick. It does not feel like a 5.6% ABV beer, but a refreshing mild fruity-sour. Not much sign of an IPA though.

The beer pours a translucent cranberry red with a creamy white head which lasts a long time and provides a lot of lacing. The aroma is ginger forward with notes of tart cranberries, wet grass, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the tartness of the fruit, the ginger flavour, and the grains. I’m not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really like this beer!
