Mexican tasting session with myself and no one else. Three bottles to be consumed and rated while it's quiet; 6th January 2023, all three bottles were obtained while in Ensenada in December 2022. The 355ml bottle of this is 7% not the stated 5.7% on here though. Second beer of the session, into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass, looks good; clean and clear golden/amber body, lovely smooth topped Snow White crown on top. Resinous piney nose with a citrus afterthought, taste is piney and hop bitter, almost harsh hop bitterness in fact, burns your throat (in a nice way). Must have changed the recipe since the other rates because this is a different beer to what they are writing about. Really enjoyed it.

Clear, golden colored, medium white head, long lasting. Citrus and pine moderate+ hops, caramel, medium bitterness, bit harsh finish, light alcohol. Medium bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily to resiny. Maybe could be fresher. OK IPA but not head turning.

Verrassend goed.

Hop The Beer Experience, CDMX tap: pours light copper with a white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, and malts. Bitter and a little bit sweet. Way more malty of an IPA that I like or am used to.

Clear deep golden color with a fine head. Good lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium (+) body and an average carbonation level. Sweet like an double ipa. Not enough bitterness to back it up. Grapefruit hoppy, dried fruits, malty and some pine in the flavor. A little bit harse.
