Phillips Brewing Co. – Electric Unicorn White IPA Review

The Electric Unicorn White IPA is an opaque golden colour that pours with a relatively thin head. The aroma of orange peel, coriander and the slightest of  clove come through before tasting. Upon the brew first touching your lips the taste is light and crisp. This lightness settles into a lightly bitter citrus flavour that finishes with a taste of coriander and orange peel. The Wheatiness of this beer is apparent throughout but does not make for a heavy, thick beer as many wheat beers can be. Much of the IPA hop in this is masked by the tart, bitterness of the orange peel but it makes for a solid base for the other flavours to project. Overall the electric Unicorn has strong but balanced flavours and is a great end to a hot day. This may not be an everyday drinker but has great flavour balance and is overall quite enjoyable.
