Italian IPA, tasted at Modeste. Thick, dense, lacing egg-white head over a cloudy orange blonde beer. Aroma of American hops, with suggestions of pink grapefruit, mandarin, dry white wine, mango, pine needles, lime zest, biscuit; vividly fruity onset, mango, orange, kiwi drenched in a very light salty sauce, supple and lean mouthfeel, caramelly, leading to a long, drying but more aromatic than deeply bittering hoppiness, very citrusy and piney yet subtle and soft. Very elegant IPA, enjoyed this a lot.

At Modeste in Berchem near Antwerp. Thick, creamy, pale beige head over a hazy brownish burgundy coloured beer. Aroma of caramel, burnt brown sugar, ’natural’ iron, dried leaves and prunes, toasted bread. Taste begins with malt fruitiness, accent of dried apple peel, soft caramelly maltiness, thin body as expected from the style, smooth, sweetish with a toasted addition in the end as well as mild, deep, earthy hops, softly bittering. Caramelly maltiness is the star in this show and that is what you should expect from a Münchener Dunkel. Not really impressive, but very decent for what it pretends to be and well crafted technically speaking.
