It’s Old Man Bitter
A mix of citrus and pine that will remind you of the time you went on a vision quest with your Native American cousin and you woke up in a pine grove full of grapefruit trees.
An American-style India Pale Ale with a deep golden-orange color. Bitter and hoppy, with a surprisingly smooth finish.

At my room hotel, at Amsterdam. In my point of view, it is a fair and honest ipa, sister of the embuscade with the taste, notes of pine-tree, resinous, dry malt, fairly bitter, citrus, 31.08.20.

Denne har vel to mnd igjen av best før, og den var godt over middagshøyden. Fin humlearoma de aller første sekundene, men etterpå var det lite igjen, og ingenting til å balansere en temmelig skarp bitterhet. Scorer ikke, da den er innlysende lagringsskadd

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

12 ounce can from Total Wine Santa Fe, 1/24/22. One of the most common beers I haven’t ticked. Cool. Hazy orange, large rocky tan head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit, caramel malt. Taste is dank, resin, grapefruit, pale malt. Lingering bitterness. A bit off balance. Okay. Am I missing something?

35cl Blik van De Laat. Amber kleur, vuilwitte romige kraag. Heerlijk hoppig, citrus en dennen, hars, licht bloemig, niet supermoutig en zoet zoals andere oldskool exemplaren soms zijn, wat caramel, fors bitter, heerlijke trip down memory lane dit. IPA zoals hij hoort te zijn.

Pours a deep amber colour and a sticky off white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma's of flowery hops and malt, not too fresh anymore. Retronasal It's malty, flowery hops, resinous. Flavour is moderate bitter with a malty sweet backbone. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Long bitter finish.
