Beer and coastlines. Condensation bleeding down the can, water washing over rocks. Our warm weather seasonal is pure Vallejo – west coast crisp, Carr’s® cracker clean, white grape jelly, under ripe peach, fastidious IPA that’s sure to unbutton every bit of tension you’ve been lugging around town. The warmth is close. Drag a four-pack out the water’s edge. Beer was invented for this.

Tap @Luppolo Station in Rome. Golden hazy with a white adhesive foam. Nose: pretty malty, resinous, straight-forward ipa aroma. Mouth: refreshing thirst-quenching ipa, grapefruit, resinous bitterness. Lovely.

On tap @Luppolo Station (Rome). Ambrata scarica/dorata carica, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso note di malto, pesca, resina, erbaceo, agrumato. In bocca ha un attacco di malto molto deciso con finale amaro contenuto, non eccessivo. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Molto old style, ma buona.

Pithy citrus & a pillowy mouthfeel, light pithy bitterness on the finish. Honey and pithy bitterness on the finish. Great west coast style.

16 ounce can from Urban Barley in NYC. Hazy honey gold pour. Large tight foamy white head. Clinging lace. Dank piney hop nose. Bright lemony citrus and bready grain upfront. Complex hops in middle hint at more pine, grapefruit and lime. Peppery, piney, mint finish. Very well done. A nice IPA.

Can shared in London - big thanks to Tipple. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white topping. The nose holds dry, pithy citrus, pine needles. Light sweet flavour with semi-ripe citrus fruits, mellow rindy bitterness, pale bread crust. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with some hoppy burps, more tangerine, pale bread, bitter pine needles. Not bad overall.
