29/6/2025. Draft at Bar Si Dielli, Tirana. New on today after their dark ran out yesterday. Pours hazy dark orange gold with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is citrus, orange, husky tropical fruits, touch resiny. Moderate sweetness, medium developing bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation. Fresh and pretty decent. EDIT - note for admin as yesterday I flagged as a potential dupe of IPA but I’m not sure now. Possibly it’s New IPA but I couldn’t get to the bottom of it talking to the barman whether this was “New”. Will see if I.can get anymore info while here. --- Beer aliased from original tick of India Pale Ale on 22 May 2025 at 10:59 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 5 | Overall - 6.

26/6/2025. Draft at Pan’s Microbrewery Taproom, Tirana. Pours very dark brown with a small creamy beige head. Aroma is dark fruits, berries, smoked, meaty, coffee, plastic, singed hair. Taste is stewed fruits, raspberries, blackberry, oddly and unpleasantly tart. Medium body, soft carbonation. Some dryness to finish. Really not sure what was meant to be going on here but it was too sour for a porter with a very odd aroma. I didn’t like this one.
