Last of the birthday “Soups” from Silke. Pale gold with a frothy, sticky white head. Lots of lemon lime in the aroma at the outset. This fades to a tropical purée that’s heavy on the mango. Taste is bitter and citric. Dry finish with a very faint warmth. Touch of lingering candy sweetness. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Nice.

On tap at Garage Beer Co, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite fruity and dank, with citrus hops, juicy stone fruits, and light dankness. Flavour is quite juicy, with lots of juicy stone fruits, dank hops, and citrus zest. Juicy, dank and not too yeasty. Very good.

150ml draught at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. Spotty lacing from a diminishing white head. Misty warm golden body. Smell of orange and earthy malts. Canned fruity flavours, hints of peaches and orange, grainy malts beneath. Nice piney bitterness to the ending. Mouth filling. Does not taste that strong. Pleasing. (Tromsø 10.08.2019).

Hazy double IPA by this successful Spanish craft brewery, 44 cl can (a strange size, now that I come to think of it)... Light gushing upon removing the lid, but completely manageable. Loose, off-white, thin and interrupted, eventually all but disappearing ring of a head with some disparate remnants here and there in the middle, hazy peach-hued 'old gold' robe, some loose bubbles rising up every now and then; only lightly hazy in the beginning, turning into a deep golden mistiness with sediment. Tropical but also quite dank aroma of pink grapefruit, mango purée, moldy old oranges, withering dill, overripe garlic, kiwi, lemon zest, old bread, diesel, half-dry hay, touch of gin, frying olive oil. Sweet and tropical onset, granadilla, mango, pineapple and grapefruit, refreshing with softly tingling carbonation, full and slick body, oily; soft sweetish doughy and very thinly caramelly malts soon soaked in this ongoing tropical fruitiness, with the hops adding a light degree of powderiness and spicy bitterness in the end, but more so a wealth of dank and fruity aromatics, varying between withering kitchen herbs, drying citrus peel, mango and passionfruit; some warming, gin-like alcohol interrupts the sweetness in the end, adding a light astringency, but only briefly so. Generally sweet, tropical and dank, what one expects from this fruit juice fad in IPA today, but I miss the days when double IPA was a purely West Coast style beer - with all the piney, resiny bitterness that came with it. Anyway, I will try not to reminisce about Pliny the Elder and its congeners in rating this, as that would obviously not be fair - but judged as, indeed, a New England IPA, it seems to me that this one lacks a bit in creaminess (and head retention). Still, very easily drinkable, sweet and smooth, with a lot of juicy fruitiness, I had way worse attempts at this style.
