A peculiarly bittersweet ale with hints of the New World. The backbone is built on three hops - Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy. The citrus and tropical fruit bitterness of the hops are pleasantly smoothed by the soothing sweetness typical of vanilla. The medium dry body allows to enjoy this seductive bouquet of flavors unhindered.

Tap filled to bottle a few mins ago. Smell- weak, hops, malt. Foam- thin to medium, soft, bitter and malt notes, hops. Head is medium-sized, kind of creamy, yellowish-white color, sticks to sides. Appearance- almost fully clear, orange, amber, some weak carbonation. Taste- weak malt, hops, bitterness and more hops with sweetness. The aftertaste remains as hops and bitter notes for some time. Bit not my type, but still decent and drinkable, I bet it will go very well with some fish I have there :)

On tap at Labietis Centraltirgus. Got a bit confused about this one as I was told it was “a pale ale”, and I was rating it as a not very appropriate example of that. Turns out it’s actually an IPA with added vanilla, which is much more likely. Anyway, pours a pale bronze with an adequate head. Malty and spicy aroma, with a sharp hoppiness on the tongue. Hints of citrus and sweet fruits, with a long-lingering bitter finish. Beer might be better than my ratings suggest, because it wasn’t what I was looking for at the time.
