Hazy yellow smooth creamy offwhite head
Pretty nice herbal hoppy aroma with faint notes of pineapple and coconut. The coconut note lingers
Palate is creamy, flavor is complex hoppy with that coconut base, great balance, very smooth, quite refreshing, way good for a neipa, full bodied and flavorful even though it is not a double neipa. Also very balanced. As I remember it, my best from espiga this far

Herbal bordering sulphuric aroma, earthy.
Flavor is messy west coast hoppy with notes of hay , herbs , licorice root, quite sweet malty, good malts, smooth , pretty good malty smooth brew, but not west coast ipa as i remember Them. More like a malty version of neipa , also reminds me of english beer, like mild, ( the malts ) . Weird.
Very drinkable once i accept not much hops , could work well with very flavorful/spicy food. (So not spanish food, lol)
Should be sold as an APA imho Can says west coast IPA i dont know. Perhaps west coast of spain.

Bottle picked up from Mr Hop, webshop Venray, Netherlands and consumed Saturday 15th November 2025 the first anniversary of Bob's passing. We had a Greek feast tonight, Souvlaki, Greek Salad, Deep Fried Mussels with Skordalia and Lemony Potatoes, then a long video call with Scott and Mandy. Pours very dark brown verging on black with a light tan head. Mostly chocolate on the nose and in the mouth but there's also a significant amount of licorice.andca light touch of spiciness like you get with speculoos. Good but not amazing.
