Calabogie Brewing is encouraging us to “discover new horizons” with this beer, which seems apropos since we have reviewed another Horizon brew previously. Having a different Horizon would certainly expand my horizons, double them actually. Then again, isn’t there only one horizon? I guess you would find new horizons heading into space? * Then I started ruminating about what came first, horizon or horizontal. Do we call it the horizon because it’s horizontal or do we call something horizontal because it is like the horizon.** I didn’t puzzle on this for too long because I had to get back to work, there was a pour to score.
A hazy dark golden pour, lots of clouds on the Horizon. Perhaps a storm brewing here? Light tropical citrus on the nose. First taste is a mild juicer, with some shy hops, and minimal bitters. Dry and light everything. Some fruit started to step up but the hops were still MIA. It is a nice easy drinking mild juicer, tasty, with low to no bitters and hops. Bordering on sessionable, certainly crushable, big swig amenable. And there it was gone.
A light and tasty NEIPA, this Horizon is on the straight and narrow.
