Can. Hoppy aroma and taste, resin and floral notes, ripped fruit, medium bitter, sweet notes. Medium to full body, hoppy fruity bitter finish. Good.

Bottle, 0.355l. Cloudy copper pour, thin soapy white head, short lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Fruity nose, citruses, peach, pine. Malty background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Chewy texture, average mouthfeel. Bitter taste, somewhat harsh. Unfortunately, not the freshest sample. Hops are pretty much lost here, intense caramel malty aroma with harsh bitterness in the background. Will re-rate when I get a hold of a fresh sample.

Tap @ El Mariachi, Ålborg. Almost clear golden body with a nice, dense white head. Nice refreshing aroma of citric fruit, ripe fruit, oranges, malt and hint of light caramel. Taste has a nice malty base with refreshing citric fruit, oranges, zest, hint of caramel and distinct but smooth bitterness. Medium body and smooth, tasty, bitter fruity aftertaste. Classic.

Tap at Keyaki. Nice. Caramel, light hoppiness, bit of resin. Good stuff. Joint favourite of the set.

OK, so I got an IPA that apparently is a 99/100? No IPA is that good. Come now, bitter bastard. Let me put this 100% in the glass. Pours like a decent beer, pale yellow with a big foaming craggy head. Mild clean fresh hop flower perfume aroma. Taste is one big mouth coating bitter brutal butyl rubber chewy inner tube. Yes, a blast in the ass. Heat of the meat divided by the angle of dangle. What else can be said? So bitter it is probably a double IPA? Or ... ..... do I mean impy? Yes, terribly on style nasty fricken nellie, whew. Not sure if I got this at JR's or the kroger in kentucky. Only $1.50 for one of the finest? Heheheh
