My second beer from this brewery, of which I like the concept, the names and the labels, bottle from a Mitra in Flevoland. Egg-white, moussy, regulary shaped head, stable on the edge but quickly dissipating in the middle, on top of an initially cristal clear, warm orange blonde beer with very lightly pinkish tinge, lightly hazy and even deeper orange with sediment. Aroma already oxidized alas, a bit ’rusty’, clearly this bottle is already too old; still it breathes pleasant hints of biscuit, dried orange peel, sweet red apple, chicken spices, rainwater, pumpkin soup, white pepper, hard butterscotch candy, dried ginger. Crisp, refreshing onset, clean fruity profile of dried mandarin, unripe banana and hard pear or apple peel, spritzy carbonation but acceptable for a session beer of below 5%, adding a bit of ’body’, so to speak. Biscuity, clean malt middle, toasted edges supporting the hop bitterness as it should be, the latter delivering a quenching, drying, spicy, long-stretched bitterness, grapefruity, tonic water-ish and peppery, with some retronasal grapefruit peel aromas - which are unfortunately accompanied by that ’rusty’ oxidation effect. Too bad I stumbled upon an old bottle: I am confident that this brewery knows what they are doing, I am still motivated to find more of their bird-themed beers and I am convinced that in young condition, ideally from tap perhaps, this was a textbook session IPA. Will upgrade when I come across this again in younger condition.

Bottle from Mitra Bunnik, BB 09 Sep 2018, 33 cl sample. Perfectly clear golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma of piney and grapefruity hops, slight herbal and some toffee malt. Medium piney bitterness, crisp. Slight herbal tea is the only minir flaw I could name, as this is just plain good session stuff.
