Can from Conad Iseo, drunk after avoiding the Brenner protest closure by driving through the night before. Lightly hazy amber, citrusy nose, light caramel flavor that's not too thin for a session and adds a wee bit of flavor. Still a bit one dimensional lemon/cara flavor but decent West-Coast-ish reminiscent IPA.

opalescent golden colour, large, dense ecru-ish white head; aroma of grainy, some fruity, herbal, sweat and buttery notes; taste of hoppy bitterness, some metallic, buttery and maybe slight grapefruity notes...well, it would be quite hard to distinguish it from a lager in a blinded test...

330ml can from Carrefour Express in Madrid, Spain. Pours a hazy dark gold color with a white head and good retention. Light lacing. Hoppy aroma. Standard hoppy flavor with a light to moderate bitter finish. Pretty typical IPA fare. I'm not getting any of the supposed stone fruit, currant, or citrus notes. Medium body and medium carbonation. Tick.

Can from night shop in Málaga. Bit hazy deep golden. Crisp malts, caramel, zesty, soft butter, bread crust. Just medium sweet and bitter. Almost medium bodied. Actually not that bad, though there's not a lot of hops in here.

Can from a Spanish Aldi. Pours lightly hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of light tropical fruit and citrus. Taste is more of the same. Light bitter finish. OK.
