We hebben onze American IPA in een nieuw jasje gestoken: Fresh & Spiky! samen met een motief wat mooi aansluit in onze core range. Verder smaakt het bier natuurlijk zoals altijd geweldig. Het hopkarakter in dit bier kenmerkt zicht door aroma’s van citrusfruit. De drie gebruikte hopsoorten zorgen voor een gebalanceerd bier, met een fris bittere afdronk. De IPA bierstijl is in de afgelopen jaren ongekend populair geworden.

Sweetish, rather fruity-resiny aroma of orange, mango and some pine. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity and slightly resiny taste of orange, mango, some tea leaves and a touch of pine, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid IPA.

Can (from Alko web, shared, with Mats). Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some earth and mild mouldy tones. Flavour is fruity, some pellety grassy and hayish tones. Not that exciting.

Can from Albert Heijn. Hazy golden, huge, frothy, white head. Aroma of mandarin, orange peel, grapefruit juice, lime, pineapple. Taste has sweetish mandarin & pineapple, sourish lime & softly bitter grapefruit over a pale-malty base, honey note. Piney hoppy finish, very citrusy, bit spicy. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Okay, but doesn't feel fresh nor mature.

Blikje thuis gedronken. Geel tot oranje-achtig troebel bier met matig schuim dat snel weg trekt. Aroma van veel hop. Smaak is hoppig maar ook een beetje citrusachtig. Nasmaak is iets bitter.
