It's been quite a long while since your mind was cloaked in this wonderful music - so intoxicating that you probably don't even remember that feeble whisper from which it all started.

A certain state of bliss has now taken over, chipping all your worries away with a rigorous beat, crumbling
to bits the once heavy wheel that used to be your daily grind.

This euphoria keeps you far from the mono- chromatic mindset by which the other mouth-breathers simply abide.

But these self-medicated chill pills
come at a high cost.

We'll get there, in due time.

Can shared in Watford - cheers to Fergus. Pours murky yellow-good with a big, frothy white head. Light sweet flavour with subtly tart citrus character, lemon peel, mellow bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Citrusy hops in the finish. Not bad.

Hazy IPA from this Romanian craft brewery, thanks to Didier for sharing the can! Very thick and foamy, initially inches high, snow white head, cloudy yolk-yellow robe with warm peachy-orangey tinge. Aroma of lime zest, green mango, mandarin, leftover dough, green banana, papaja that is not quite fully ripe yet. Very crisp onset, lime-zesty with hints of mango, green banana and yellow kiwi, quite fizzy carb but generally still with a soft, smooth mouthfeel, a tad powdery in the end from yeast (yet no hop burn); lots of aromatic hoppiness with slight spicy bitterness (luckily for me!) and lots of retronasal fruitiness reminiscent of pomelo, papaja, some guava and a bit of mango. If someone had told me five years ago that beautiful IPAs were going to come out of Romania, I probably would not have believed them, but lo and behold, the global craft beer movement is flourishing in Eastern Europe and produces unexpected gems like this. What a time to live in.

Can sourced from Beerdome, and shared at home (25/07/2020) - very hazy golden yellow with a white covering. Vibrant juicy tropical fruity affair with lots of pineapple, melon, passion fruit and a hint of coconut from the sabro, nice soft mouthfeel and medium body, light balanced bitter hoppy close. Very nice.
