The “werewolf” within the pack. A lager Transforming into an Intense Pale Lager when the moon is bright!. The 8.6 IPL is a cross between a drinkable, powerful lager and a firm hoppy IPA. A freshly bitter hop flavour and a softly sweet malt base fight for the attention of your taste buds in this lager. A duality to which even Little Red Riding Hood would surrender. For all you “werewolves “out there!

Can from a local supermarket. Aroma is grainy with soft floral hops and mild soapy notes. Flavour is sweetish with a light bitterness. Body is light to medium, weaker than the abv would suggest. Way too restrained, as is common when a macro brewery wanders into a hoppy style. Bland.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear yellow with a neat and lacing white head. Lovely floral hop aroma, smells like whole cone noble hops. Medium body, very soft on the palate, sweet maltiness and a slightly bitter finish. Kinda like a hopped up Malt Liquor - but I kinda like it! I recommend to drink it straight from the freezer, I have a feeling it’ll be undrinkable otherwise. 300824

0.5l can. Clear pale yellow body with a whute head. Aroma and taste of sugar syrup, hay, vanilla, pepper and some peach notes. Simple beer, but it's quite clean considering it's a relatively high ABV light lager.

half litre can from a supermarket in mallorca. clear yellow, smooth creamy white head. Flowery citrussy lemongrassy hoppy, like a belgian tripel or blonde can be at times, Aroma is clean and refreshing. Flavor is quite artificial, lemon candy, lemon soap, lemongrass, crisp malts. For a (relatively cheap) supermarket booze-bomb this is remarkably well done, crisp and lemongrassy is way better than sweet and caramelly or no taste and alc. flavor or malty and oh-so bad hops.
