half litre can from beerbay in spain. hazy yellow, fluffy white head. aroma is mild and citrus fruity, slightly malty, but primarily citrus fruits. flavor is quite good, citrus fruits and a little exotic fruits fat solid malty balance to that, and a bitterness that perhaps mostly resembles grapefruit pices with powdered sugar on them. The overall impression is a dangerously easy drinking double-ipa (almost) further to the bittersweet side than many americans, but it manages to stay there in style and with a very well orchestrated multilayered hoppy balance. if it was a tiny bit more bitter, or a tiny bit more sweet, it would become cloying and bittersweet in a bad way, but it manages to stay just on the right side of the fence. pretty good stuff.

Can at home. Hazy orangy color, average sized white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, nicely hoppy, sweetish as so so so so so so (do I need to continue?) many IPAs these days but this one is actually quite alright.

Spanish hazy IPA hopped with Loral (an American variety that started off in 2003 as a single plant apparently but which has received attention from some important craft breweries since then), Ekuanot and Simcoe in 'cryo' form; can from Beerdome. Thick and frothy, egg-white, mousy, lightly paper-lacing but quite unstable head, eventually all but gone; cloudy peach blonde robe with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of kumquat, tangerine, orange peel, sugared fruit yoghurt, Turkish delight, yellow kiwi, raw pineapple, dough, Doyenné pear, bitter honey, grapefruit, ginger juice, soap, white pepper. Sweet 'hop fruitiness' in the onset, quite luscious with hints of mandarin, rambutan, peach, ripe pear and slight mango, light sourish undertone, softly carbonated; soft and smooth, creamy body, doughy and sweetish malt core drenched in expressive, bright hoppiness offering lots of retronasal tropical and citrusy aromas (tangerine, granadilla, pink grapefruit) but not too overwhelmingly so. The hops also add a lingering, peppery bitterness - no harsh 'hop burn', but a softly lingering bitterness that more or less balances out the sweetness and keeps this beer from descending into tropical fruit juice territory. Bittersweet, 'orange' tail. NEIPA alright, but in a slightly restrained way, with that dash of end bitterness making all the difference for me. Very enjoyable, quite easygoing, more than solid example and a nice first encounter with this Barcelona craft brewery's range.
Sampled @ Braukunst Live 2020. A hazy bright golden beer with a big off white head. Aroma of fresh fruity bitter hops, citrus, tangerine. Taste of orange fruits, zest, grapefruit, yeast, not too bitter, nice!
