Boombox Brewing – Ultra Deluxe

Overview

Boombox Brewing – Ultra Deluxe Review

First released in 2017, this beer has been around for a while, but not in the Beer Me BC database.

Ultra Deluxe is an artfully brewed take on a Hazy IPA. Not overly hazy or pulpy; more of a timeless approach than some bolder, trendier New England IPAs.

It pours orangey gold with a decent head. On the nose, there’s orange fruit and a piney hop aroma which leads to a piney initial flavour, with a faint note of pineapple.

It’s juicy on the palate with a sweet creaminess in the finish and a note of vanilla, like a tiny bit of orange creamsicle in your glass.
