Today's beer adventure: Half Pints Brewing Little Scrapper IPA (Winnipeg, MB). 341ml bottle. 6.0% ABV. Served in pint glass. Purchased at SLGA. ~$14.00 for a sixer.The pour is medium amber with 2 fingers of solid white head that sticks around nicely. Nose is of bready malt and citrusy hops. Great lacing on the glass. Light carbonation.
The flavour is light, with the sweet malt out front and the hops in behind. Very smooth and sessionable. Alcohol is not really present. The mouthfeel is bright(?) and despite the lack of carbonation is the glass, it almost sparkles on the tongue...although not in a "bubbly" way. Hard to explain. Medium mouthfeel..maybe a little "heavier" than some other IPA's.
Rating is 7.25/10 dogs. Half Pints is a brewery started by a former brewmaster from Regina's Bushwakker Brewpub. I think this is Regina's loss and clearly Winnipeg's gain, as Dave is very imaginative and talented. Very good brew from Half Pints.
