Can, big fluffy head, cloudy deepish orange, lots of citrus, some peach and apricot, a bit of hay, quite sweet, medium bitterness, a touch heavy. Nice and satisfying.

On tap at Banshee NEIPA leaning towards the milkshake. That's pretty much describing it. Fair enough

Draught @ Beera bar Aroma is a bit odd with ripe fruits and putty. Flavour has ripe fruits, orange marmalade, some grapefruity hops. Also fruit nectar. NEIPA on the sweet side.

Gin barrel is always the best for saisons. This winner comes from Latvija, of all places for a French saison.

Can from Pivný raj Classic West coast DIPA. On paper it sounded great. In reality? Boozy. So boozy you barely feel anything else...

Can Latvian brewery no.4 Oh. This tastes just like proper ČIPA. How did it make to the Baltics? Pours amber with off-white head. Caramel. Burnt caramel. Why so? This certainly is not west coast thing
