One of countless hazy IPAs by this familiar and trusted Latvian craft brewery, now hopped with Vic Secret, Mosaic and Galaxy; can from the Albert Heijn supermarket in the Arteveldestadion in Ghent. Foamy, inches thick, egg-white, dense, creamy, 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, rocky head gradually thinning and eventually breaking, on a cloudy yellow blonde robe with apricot tinge - almost opaque, but not murky. Predictable but still beguiling aroma of lime zest, a blossoming mandarin orchard, fresh lemongrass, granadilla, green guava, papaya, honeydew, cucumber peel, freshly cut green bell pepper, meringue, mangosteen, fresh cake dough, celery salt, diesel. Aromatically sweet-fruity onset, all from hops of course as usual in this style, a wave of papaya, mandarin blossoms, pomelo, lychee, guava and mangosteen, prickly carbonated but with very small bubbles so still feeling creamy; fresh lemon cake dough-y 'soil' drenched in a huge aromatic, tropical hoppiness, adding granadilla and lemongrass to all the guava, papaya and pomelo - retronasally at least, where a hint of sweaty dankness also appears. Its bitterness remains refinedly citrusy and does not disturb the sweet aromatics at all, in fact it only complements them, penetrating the malts - including soapy wheat and velvety oats - to their core, as it ought to be. I am far from the world's most avid NEIPA fan - in fact I already grew tired of their overkill years ago - but this does not leave me completely indifferent, to answer the brewery's statement; especially the fact that I can obtain these beers from a fifteen minutes car ride to a supermarket nearby still baffles me, if I look back at what the beer world has become in the quarter of a century in which I have been following it closely.

Can at Schiphol, picked up at Albert Hinds, after cancelled flight, sat outside the terminal building, 13th June 25. This was a reasonable IPA, straight from the can

Bière dégustée chez Nisha à Kaunas. Robe trouble, jaune pâle, avec une mousse fine, crémeuse, irrégulière, blanc cassé. Bonne tenue, trace joliment les parois du verre. Nez expressif, sur la levure et un côté fruité, caramel léger. En bouche, fruits tropicaux à profusion, mangue, pêche. Attaque douce, légèrement sucrée et belle amertume, pointe herbacée. Très bonne!

440ml can. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a big, mostly lasting fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is yeasty, herbal, light floral, vinous. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, creamy, fresh, juicy lemon citrus, light herbal, vinous, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. A little too sweet.

14/VII/24 - 44cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB:XII/2024 (2024-548)
Cloudy pal light yellow beige beer, big fluffy creamy irregular off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, sweet, malty, caramel, very fruity, lots of tropical fruits, juicy, lovely, a hint of mango, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sweet start, good bitterness, very fruity, caramel malts, tropical fruits, juicy, hoppy, a bit resinous. Aftertaste: some alcohol, or is that a slight hop burn I’m getting maybe? A bit sugary, a little dank, very fruity, peaches, mango, lovely, I really like it!
