Tip Tap draught, 4/7/24. Heavily hazy, blonde-maize-golden. Small, lightly creamy, off-white head, lower retention. Juicy, pink-tinged with floral lemon grass and tons of cracker and light honey from the malt. Moderate ester from yeast gives additional fruitiness. No booze or resin. Nicely malty with a biscuity, wheaty thickness and high attenuation. Maybe a touch dry and bitter with lots of lemony, grapefruity citrus augmented by pine. But the texture remains soft and sweetens lightly as it warms. Assertive bitterness is a plus

Cloudy and pale amber. On the nose, a bit of phenol but mostly faded hops. On the palate, that cheesiness comes in where once citrus lived, and the malts remain solid. It's just the beer isn't all that fresh and that affects the presentation - I feel the balance is there, and it would have left the brewery tasting good.

26 February 2022. At Bar Beenhouwer, Ghent. Cheers to Ama Deke for sharing the can!
Clear golden, thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit juice, orange peel, lime zest, shallot, pine, pineapple, bread crust. Taste has sweetish pineapple & tangerine; zesty lime and a bready malt base. Piney & peppery hoppy finish with spicy shallot, citrus zest and bitter unripe fruit. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Good balance between those two hops.

‘American IPA’ from a brewpub in Missouri I had never heard of; can from Bar Beenhouwer. Off-white, moussy, slowly breaking head, cloudy apricot blonde robe with slightly ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of lime zest, guava, vanilla orchid blossom, lemongrass, milk, yellow Zespri kiwi, wet marijuana, chalk. Sweetish onset with sourish edge, green guava, incompletely ripe mango and lime zest notes, medium carbonated with doughy, soft malt soil with bready edge, drenched in rich hop aromas, bringing back the tropical fruit associations as well as a refreshing, zesty citrusiness – indeed a combo reminiscent of classic Mosaic supporting Citra. The Columbus remains a bit in the background, in the form of a very slightly herbal, lemongrassy aspect. Mango, lime blossom and guava close the day, with some lingering breadiness, soft underlying bitterness and sheer elegance. Seemingly seeking to evoke a dash of West Coast and in that sense very vaguely labelled “American IPA”, this is essentially a New England IPA, and an accomplished one at that.
