A bit of light blueberry flavor. Almost no carbonation.

Poured from the tap @ Mara & Co. Clear-ish blonde gold with small white head. Soft citrus hops, a nice showcase at 4% abv. Enjoyable session IPA.

Poured from the tap @ Mara & Co. Clear golden amber with small off white head. Some nice pine hops on the nose, a bit more subdued on the taste along with a feint caramel malt and just a hint of metallic notes. Okay.

Bottle. Pours lightly hazy gold. Grapefruit, grain, sweet tangerine juice, straw, light bitterness. Nice smooth body. Very nice.

. Mexican tasting session with myself and no one else. Three bottles to be consumed and rated while it's quiet; 6th January 2023, all three bottles were obtained while in Ensenada in December 2022. This is the first of the evening, a 355ml bottle into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass. Clean and clear amber with a full two inches of lasting white foam, nice hop aroma with both piney and citrusy esters coming through. Taste is also hoppy and fairly bitter (60 IBU), some malt action gives some sweetness and balance. Good start to my evening.

Bottle on 21st December 2022 while sat on the balcony of Stateroom A-743 (Cruise Ship Crown Princess), alongside in Ensenada, Mexico. Deep red body, off-white head. All a bit 'old and cobweb', might have been skunked by the store, it wasn't right anyway. Sour almost vinegar aroma and taste, old malty undertones. Scored kindly because I'm a nice guy!
