Description
Collective Arts Brewing is a grassroots craft brewery that aims to fuse the creativity of craft beer with the inspired talents of emerging artists and musicians. Collective Arts Brewing was founded on two beliefs: The first that creativity fosters creativity. And the second, that creativity yields delicious pints. We feature limited-edition works of art on our beer cans and labels, and we work to make sure the liquid on the inside is as diverse and creative as the artists we profile. Our brewery is located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This is where we brew everything from our flagship IPA Ransack the Universe to our World Beer Cup-winning Stranger than Fiction porter. In our taproom we pour up to 10 different beers at one time, samples and flights, we host brewery tours and live entertainment weekly. Stop by to see our beer bottle gallery showcasing every artist we’ve worked with over the past 6 years.

Cloves and dark chocolate on the nose. Dark brown head disipates quickly.
A rich texture with a mix of spicy tastes - cloves, mint, chocolate syrup and a balanced booziness. Sweet but not ove the top. Solid member of the series

355mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has light-to-moderate cardboard, floral hops, and some oniony notes. Flavour has some citrus hops, a touch of melon, cardboardy notes, and a touch of floral notes. Reasonably hopped for a NA, finishing lightly fruity and dry. Decent for a NA.

Best before 04/23, tasting this can yesterday, at night, quiet, at home, in family. Interesting ipa, a bit light but there is a good mix between sweetness and tropical fruit like mango and guava, bitter, malt, cereal, creamy, 30.03.24, at Epalinges.

Team tasting at CBJ, thanks to Wingman for the bottle. Near opaque dark brown beer, small and short lived tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Terry's chocolate orange vines here, along with cardamom and Christmas spices. A little milk chocolate. A touch of lemon and a little whiskey. Light and semi dry finish brings some alcohol spice. Different and tasty.

Hazy yellow, light lemon, and cereals. Medium mouth feel, creamy carb. Low bitterness, slightly creamy finish, lemon zest, soft pale malts. Not bad, not great.

Best before, march 2022, so happy to drink one can again after one week to be sick. Again, I was not disappointed with this beer, a solid imperial ipa, smooth and boozy, full of aromas, lychee, passion fruit, tropical, solid bitterness, citrus, oh yes.... 23.04.23, at Epalinges.

Can at home shared with Laura. A bit unclear light yellow color, average sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, hops, sticky resinous hops, softly bitter. Quite nice. Decent body and medium carbonation. I like it.
