Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 2A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 876/877 (BB: 01/2025). AROMA: medium-low grainy-sweet aroma with a faint citric and mineral background note. almost clean fermentation profile. APPEARANCE: pale yellow color and generally clear with very fine haze in suspension, ok for style. TASTE: initial medium grainy-sweet malty flavor with slight honey touch. slight citrus note. medium-high bitterness with a dry and somewhat bitter finish and aftertaste. MOUHFEEL: medium-low to low body with medium carbonation. dry sensation that resembles astringency. OVERALL: a nice pale lager with rice but a bit overly bitter and with a strange astringency-like sensation.

Clear golden colour, medium sized creamy snow-white head; aroma of tangerine, peach, some orange peel and maybe hints of pine notes; taste has the same notes with much more intensive pine resiny hoppiness and some buttery notes; a little bit 'empty' and 'watery' to be a great west coast IPA, but otherwise, as a beer it is quite ok(ish 😉)

Tap at Beergeek Bar, thx Adam! Hazy brown body, off-white head. Caramelly aroma, bit soapy, subdued spicy touches, alcohol. Lean taste, caramelly-soapy, sweetish, malty, light apple and alcohol. Dunno, much better on paper than in the glass.
