Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery received this week. Consumed at home Friday 2nd May 2025 listening to Viagra Boys - Viagr Aboys and cooking Souvlaki on the BBQ with Minty Potatoes, Fiery Mango Relish, Tsatsiki and and Salad. Difficult to know how different this is to the West Coast IPA I have already rated from Kykao, but label certainly seems new to me. Pours milky yellow in colour, white head, immediately struck by hoppy burps. Very hoppy, bitter and yet this does have a different twist to a regular US brewed as crystal malt appears to be conspicuous by its absence and there is a soft rounded mouthfeel, however it's a very nice beer, seems almost like a crossover from a NEIPA to a West Coast IPA but in a 30/70 configuration. --- Beer merged from original tick of West Coast IPA on 24 Feb 2022 at 17:54 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: Can courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery cheers mate 👍 consumed at home Thursday 24th February 2022 listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music. Making homemade Pizza tonight. Pours with a light haziness (unfiltered?) tarnished gold with a white head. Not so much floral notes as description suggests, there is a light citrus note. Taste is citrussy, primarily grapefruit but with a brisk fruity bite, mid bitterness, not sweet, certainly not harsh as Marduk suggests, drying at the finish. Quite good, but it's interesting when breweries go for the cleaner tasting pale West Coast IPA as opposed to the big crystal malt laden beasts that the likes of Sierra Nevada, Stone etc excel in. Whilst there is a decent sized white head, there is still a slight lack of carbonation.

Canned 440ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him & Hrabren. Lemony yellow coloured, no head at all, white wine in the nose. Yeasty, bit perfumed white wine and mild citrusy touch in the finish. Even slightly plastic notes.

Can, 2022, enormous thanks to Fin and Loz! Shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Misty yellow body, no head really. Very pungent aroma - pineapple, tropical notes, white grapes, lightly rubbery, but within wine parameters, quite wine-like, pleasant by all means. Lean, dry taste, bit yeasty, rubbery white grapes, light herbal notes, some tartness, perfumey, bit floral, lightly citric, the malty backbone is lightly minerally, meaning it lost some freshness, but I love the mouthfeel.

0.44L can, thanks to Marko, shared with Ogi and him. Hazy greenish yellow, minimal head. White grapes aroma, cheese, quince, pineapple, vinous and lightly herbal. Flavour is corked wine, ripe fruit, mineral and sweet. Cheesy and lightly tannic. Smooth texture, astringent tartness, rough.

Intensiv fruchtiger Beginn, cremig, etwas bitter. Spritzig, wenig Laktose, hohe Süffigkeit. Pfirsich, minimal Limette, die Säure bleibt konstant und eher schwach. Nett. 10/10/11/11//10

#farmhouse ik weet niet of dit gewoon heel obscuur is of een totale mislukking.
