50 cl can at Cerevisia, Madrid. It pours dark wheat to light amber, slightly hazy, with a thick off-white head that only lasts a second but leaves a ring for good. Aroma is very intense: pine, pomelo (not grapefruit), lemon, pineapple, honey. No flowers. Mouthfeel is very dry, medium carb. Crisp and slightly watery; finish is bitter (but not over the top, as is sometimes the case with modern IPAs.) Nice, but not outstanding.

Anaranjada claro, con leve turbidez, espuma blanca y algo de encaje. Aroma a frutos tropicales unidos a leves notas a albaricoque. Sabor con leve amargor al principio, muy frutal, notas a albaricoque, mango y algo de caramelo para llegar a ser un punto dulce al final del trago. buena maltosidad.

CAN from Berero. Murky amber, not the brightest, not dirty either, white head. The aroma has the usual citrus but is also very flowery, almost like a perfume, lupulin, notes of elderflower. Just like the aroma, the taste is quite far from the usual fruit juices of late - is more into the grassy flowery realm, unripe fresh hops. Even the pungent hop-oil bitterness is different - more like acid than proper bitterness. Dunno if that's the new hops or the base beer done in a different way, but the end result is quite different from other recent batches.
