Can picked up from Etre Gourmet, Grez Doiceau, Belgium at home Attenkirchen, Friday 17th April 2020, on day 30 of CORVID-19 enforced lockdown, we are cooking Mean and Green Chicken Tikka Kebabs from the Dan Toombs Curry Guy Easy Book, with homemade Nan Bread and a Mushrooms Rice, we're listening to Fonda Mentalism - Mind in Reverse (EP) btw another glorious day! Pours dark gold it is hazy with a large, sticky, white head. Grapefruit, pine and some biscuity malts show on the nose. These are repeated in the mouth, it has a good bittersweet balance, I would prefer a little more bitterness and dryness but it's a good beer.

English Siren collaborating with Californian Green Cheek in this 'Californian' (so I assume West Coast style) IPA. Can from Etre Gourmet. Cobweb-lacing, egg-white, medium thick, quickly opening and dissipating head on a lightly hazy, very pure, radiant 'old gold' coloured beer. Aroma of pink grapefruit, lemon zest, fresh wormwood leaves, dried thyme, toasted garlic, burnt olive oil, withering leek, dry green peppercorns, bitter garden weeds, unripe banana. Clean, crisp onset, very restrained in sweetness with just a faint dash of hard unripe mango and green banana, softish carbonation, oily, smooth body; cereally, dry-bread-crusty and bit old cracker-like malt middle, dryish and soon bittered by a firm, grapefruity hoppiness, quenching and spicy, long-lasting and adding retronasal effects of peppercorns, toasted onion and citrus pith. Still, for an intended West Coast IPA, this hop bitterness remains altogether 'accessible', never achieving the relative harshness the classics in this style have or had. This can be a good thing for many, especially the younger beer geeks that are used to the New England idiom in IPAs, but I was hoping for a bit more boldness in this respect; something of a streamlined, slightly softened and 'moderated' interpretation of West Coast IPA, adapted to a present-day audience, like one more often sees these days.
