Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg and consumed at home Thursday 19th October 2023 listening to the penultimate show of Steve Lamaqs 6Music show, he will be back in the New Year but only for 1 day a week on a Monday, now listening to Steve Lamaqs last Round Table on the show tonight. We have a Chicken and Serrano Ham Cannelloni in the oven. This pours warm hazy gold with a white head, verging on being a little bit too sweet, but solid and authentic West Coast IPA bitterness, piney very piney and resinous, a little bit syrupy but in a good way. I think that I like this more than Loz, Loz liked it but I loved it.

500ml can. Opalescent, dark orange, deep golden to amber colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head with very light sulphureous obfuscation. Condensed, resinous, piney and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of mandarine, orange, pineapple, some grapefruit, pale and caramel malty background. Taste is bitter, resinous, piney and citrusy fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, pale and caramel malty backbone, notes of lemon and grapefruit, some mandarine and orange, a touch of grapefruit rind; lingering, bitter hoppy finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously minimally pungent palate, very fine, soft, creamy carbonation. Well crafted, very clean, excellent slim body - very good example of what DIPAs have been like before the NE paradigm shift. They should as well be preserved from extinction.

Can. Clear amebr-golden, solid white-yellow head, lasting. Medium fruity nsoe, ripe peach and some alcohol in the back. Solid bitterness, herbal and grassy. Solvent and alcohol, not nice. Lasting aftertaste. too sharp, too boozy.

Tap at Lajbah. Hazy golden body, ivory head. Caramelly, somewhat fruity aroma. Odd taste, some almond notes, dried plum, herbal touches, okay, hefty bitterness. Feels older than it is really - like an old school WC DIPA, only one that has traveled the ocean. Expected a bit more - maybe the keg's been on for too long (with that price...).
