Enormous thanks to heavy for bringing this from Barcelona! Poured an amber-gold body, murky, with a big, slightly off white head. Fresh cloves, fruity maltiness, some jam, bubblegum, more bubblegum, some pine, very nice. The taste is more straightforward than expected, but definitely respectable. An enormous assault of hop bitterness, this definitely feels like 100+IBU, slightly more piney than fruity, but still, yeasty notes, some complex fruity sweetness, not really papaya in my opinion, but hey, I’m hardly the one to say how fermented papaya tastes like. Unlike some double IPA’s I’ve had, this doesn’t drown the hops in the malts, but falls just a bit on the unbalanced side bitterness-wise. All in all, really good. Man I love this new Spanish craft/micro scene! Three different breweries in a row - three damn good beers, every one in its own way.
