Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy opaque orange with an off-white head - very lively carbonation, would’ve gushed if I hadn’t opened it veeeery slowly. Heavy, heavy Brett aroma - intentional or not I quite like it! Thick, sweet, fruity and sugary nose - I believe I can actually pick up some papaya. Very bitter and boozy finish. Rough and unconventional but quite enjoyable even if I would’ve loved some more fresh aroma hop character. 140113

Bottled. An unclear ambe beer with a huge yellowish head. The aroma has notes of papaya, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, papaya, alcohol, and straw, leading to a dry finish.

26/12 0.33 l bottle from Rosses i Torrades, Barcelona. It poured hazy orange body with medium sized head. Fine orange hop aroma, some fruity malts and a touch of plastic. Flavor was more sweet than bitter, although bitterness was very intense, herbal hops were quickly subdued by sweet malts. Especially papaya, which was more than evident, some sugar and other tropic fruits flavors, thus rather simple. Full, cloying body with very sweet, sugary papaya finish. Alcohol is completely hidden, bitterness subdued even a bit too much, so, yes, well done. Had extremely high expectations on this brew, so I was left disappointed. Although it’s enjoyable, does not belong to 4+ company.

Enormous thanks to heavy for bringing this from Barcelona! Poured an amber-gold body, murky, with a big, slightly off white head. Fresh cloves, fruity maltiness, some jam, bubblegum, more bubblegum, some pine, very nice. The taste is more straightforward than expected, but definitely respectable. An enormous assault of hop bitterness, this definitely feels like 100+IBU, slightly more piney than fruity, but still, yeasty notes, some complex fruity sweetness, not really papaya in my opinion, but hey, I’m hardly the one to say how fermented papaya tastes like. Unlike some double IPA’s I’ve had, this doesn’t drown the hops in the malts, but falls just a bit on the unbalanced side bitterness-wise. All in all, really good. Man I love this new Spanish craft/micro scene! Three different breweries in a row - three damn good beers, every one in its own way.
