"American IPA" from this exciting brewery near Barcelona, bottle of close to three months old from Etre Gourmet. Medium sized, egg-white, irregular head leaving a membrane of lacing around the edge and a landmap-like pattern in the middle, thinning out quickly, over a clear ’old gold’ coloured beer with warmer, pale orangey tinge, a bit deeper orangey and more misty with sediment. Aroma of moist old biscuit, old dried orange peel, dried wormwood or lemonbalm leaves, green peppercorns, olive oil, sweet mandarin piercing through, capers, bitter honey, parsley, raw carrot, old straw, wet paper, old bread crust, Italian sweet red onions, fresh garlic even (must be the Summit, quite obviously), lemon verbena (must be the Citra), hint of caramel deep below and something very, very vaguely ’rusty’. Crisp, lively onset, fruity in a clean way, some sweetish dried apricot and unripe banana interwoven with a sourish lemonbalm leaf-like aspect, sharpish carbonation accentuating the sourish aspect rather than the sweetish one and coarsening the mouthfeel a bit, slick and bit oily body. A somewhat salty, caper-like touch in the middle is unmistakably connected with the hops and evolves into full-fledged hop bitterness even before the finish, passing through a biscuity, smooth malt sweetish core. This hop bitterness has a resiny, tonic water- and dried grapefruit-peel-like character, coating the back of the mouth entirely but releasing only modest retronasal aromas of the white underside of an orange peel, some light mandarin and toasted onion - again, the Summit is piercing through the delicate Citra and the more versatile Tomahawk, the latter of which has clearly - and properly - been used as the bittering hop and is probably the one most responsible for the strong, peppery, resiny, ’tonic water-y’ bittering aspect in the mouth, only accentuating the Summit and Citra. I miss the Citra a bit though the lemonbalm- and mandarin-like aspects of it are still very much there, but at three months of age I suppose the oniony qualities of the Summit have retained more power so this is still very palatable and ’lively’ aromatic even for a beer vaguely referred to as "American IPA" - which says virtually nothing these days considering its many variants, but I assume the old ’standard IPA’ with its West Coast origins has been intended here. Viewed as such, this performs very well in my book, a bit generic perhaps, but quenching, thoroughly bittering, aromatic and appetizing as any decent 21st-century IPA should be. It is more than clear to me that Pirata knows what it’s doing and Naparbier aside, this is the best Spanish craft brewery to date for me, at least until I get to better know the repertoires of Edge, Laugar, Guineu, In Peccatum, Domus and hundreds of others...

At the Exodus Tour 2017 / Beerlovers bar Antwerp. From tap. Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is bit hoppy. Taste is mild hops, decent, but just not intense enough. Medium to low bitterness. Mild citrus notes.

Bottle from Beers’n’more. Pours foggy amber. Aroma is some tropical fruits, citric fruits, solid sweetness from malts behind. Body is medium, a bit oily, rather juicy, fruity with residual sweetness, some bitterness but not taking the spotlight. Palate continues with citric and tropical fruit flavours. Quite good.
