disclaimer: normally don't buy canned/bottled ipas that get imported if i don't know how fresh they are, but i was curios about this one. If you don't put a bottling or a best before date anywhere you'll get a rating even if it's not fresh enough. Pours a quite unattractive murky/milky golden, with a good sized pillowy white head, that shows quite good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is rather fresh/vivid, but not very polished: there's a bit of sweet malty base (white bread), overcome by resinous/piney freshness, with tangerine and lighter mango notes. Taste has a rather strong per style sweet malty base, and a softer per style feel. There's still significant bitterness/hoppiness though. As for the aroma, rather fresh but not very defined/polished. Notes of mango (now more prominent than in the aroma), tangerine, pine, light ryeish spiciness. Plus, a not exactly pleasant hint of some wet/sweaty kind of feel, altough really just a hint. Medium body, with medium to high (but rather soft-bubbled) carbonation, resulting in a smoother than usual mouthfeel. The beer was overall smooth, super easily drinkable and quite refreshing, but unimpressive in terms of depth and not perfectly polished.
