Drunk watching Eurocrash on Prime. Hazy amber, nice head, smooth caramel, malt, and pine nose. Dank notes, big bitterness that lasts, classic. I believe this was one of the first high-IBU IPAs i had in the late 90s in Richmond and i remember it was overwhelming at the time. Hah!

12 fl. oz. can from the Beer Republic advent calendar. Fat golden in the glass, slightly cloudy with a more than one finger white foamy head. Looks really good. Mandarine with british malt on the nose. Taste starts fruity, more on the citrus side with a big malt shot. Some honey sweetness. Less bitterness than expected. Nice one.

Leicht eingetrübte goldene Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Hopfiger, malziger Geruch. Geschmacklich hopfig, malzig mit Grapefruit und Pinien, nicht überladen fruchtig wie viele andere Vertreter. Mittlere Süße mit hoher Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Licht mistig goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Hars, citrus, wat grapefruit, citrusschil, caramel, wat dennen, super oldskool en bitter en daarom alleen al fantastisch. Glad mondgevoel, medium body. Top.

#12 Beer Republic advent calendar. 355ml can. Unclear golden, big fluffy head. Lots of resin and pine, grapefruit zest, stinging herbal hops, cough syrup, maple syrup, pine honey, skunk. Hoppy herbal bitterness, malty sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, intense hoppy bitter finish. A very hop-focused, intense and resinous West Coast IPA, really good!
