It's back!! We are bringing back the overwhelming fan-favourite IPA #5 for the latest installment in our IPA Series. This DIPA is made with massive amounts of Simcoe and Citra hops, which are bursting with notes of bright grapefruit citrus, juicy tropical mango and passionfruit, with pleasantly dank, piney undertones.

7.5/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Can pour. Appearance is opaque dark yellow with no discernible sparkle, thin cap of white head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is citrus, orange, lighter pine. Taste follows aroma with strong nondescript citrus (mix of citrus, orange, pineapple) with some astringency. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish with dry, lingering mild bitterness. Overall, nice features but taste is less interesting than the aroma as is less well defined. Bitterness/astringency detracts a little.

473mL can, pours an opaque cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is somewhat chalky, with allium, moderate dank hops, and some biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with allium -- lots of dank, oniony hops, along with a touch of pithiness, stone fruit, and a little biscuity malt. Those citra hops dominate with their allium character. Mouthfeel is a little chalky. Good overall.

Pours a slightly hazy amber from a can, lots of lacing. Syrupy sweet tropical fruit and citrus aroma. Similar flavor, like a fruit salad. Very good beer.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy pale orange with a small lingering white head leaving tight lace. Nose is bright citrus and tropical fruit with pineapple, grapefruit, mango, passion fruit and lime making appearance along with some resinous pine and a touch of bready malt hiding in the background. Flavour follows with a light sweet malt base under a big bright bitter middle and finish with the pine lending a bit more here than in the nose but the citrus and tropical fruit still dominant. The mouth is medium+ and slick with slightly soft carbonation and a long juicy bitter finish. Alcohol is not obvious at all without looking at the can. Though I missed #1, this is my favourite of the series so far. 9/4/8+/4+/18

These Collective Project IPAs have been amazing so far, so pretty please to see this one (and wish they could re-release #1 as well). Pours a cloudy golden-orange colour with a creamy-frothy warm cap, long lasting with loads of creamy lacing. Hoppy aromas with lots of citrus (oranges, grapefruits) and nicely balanced grass, yeast. A beautiful juicy taste with the citrus juices and well-balanced bitterness, dryness. Another great winner !!
