Dorada tirando a naranja, de espuma generosa. Aroma a bizcocho, mandarina y serrín. En boca es suave al paladar, de tono dulce y floral. Sabor peculiar nada común, pero para nada desagradable, todo lo contrario. Flores, mandarina, toques especiados. Curiosa, diferente y que merece ser probada.

IPA from local brewery in Zaragoza in northeast Spain, thanks to my girlfriend Goedele for this unknown bottle! Medium thick, moussy, egg-white, regular, slowly breaking, dotty-lacing, eventually opening and thinning head on a near clear, deep golden beer with orangey hue, slight haze in the middle along with disparate strings of sparkling. Aroma of banana candy, hand soap, orange-flavoured Fruitella candy from when I was a child, lavender, bath foam, plaster, apple peel, sugared tea, something lemonade-like. Sweetish onset in a very clean, slick way, bit sugary even, apple and banana aspects, softish carb, some minerally notes; very slick, slender body, thinly caramelly and cereally maltiness, increasingly bittered by a quinine-ish, rooty, peppery hoppiness which fills the finish, ending with a wormwoody bitterness that lingers for quite a long time, along with something soapy or bubblegummy. The nose did not promise much, to put it kindly, but this beer does behave a lot better in the mouth: though thin and lacking in depth and power, it does offer a long-lasting, wormwoody, tonic-watery bitterness of a kind I have not encountered in IPA in a long time. Almost English IPA in style, but with a more powerful bitterness sitting closer to its West Coast heir - and even if the whole beer feels a bit half-hearted and misses the point in terms of aroma, this refreshing bitterness is an important plus for me personally so I cannot be too harsh on this one, which I feel is a bit underrated here.

33cl bottle: BB 18th May 2022. Drank at home on 17th Jun 2021. Clear and clean golden body, no head worthy of the name. Malty, Ricey and Corny in both the nose and semi-sweet taste. Disappointed to be honest, hoped for better.
