440ml can from Sterk Amsterdam, 29th June 19. At home in the garden, picked the wrong one up last month, so pleased to grab this in my business trip this week. It's canned October 18, it's on its BB for June 19, however it pours black, tan head. Aroma is liquorice, cocoa, grapefruit. Taste is bitter, hoppy, citrus, cocoa. It's an excellent black IPA, full in the mouth and full of hoppy flavour. Love it

American style amber ale made by one of these new generation Irish craft brewers, thanks Johan for sharing the – beautifully styled – can. Egg-white, thick and foamy, plastery lacing head over a clear, ruddy-orange amber coloured beer. Aroma of rusk, dry teabags, fried tomato peel, peanuts, old biscuit, dried flowers, orange zest. Clean fruitiness in the mouth, touch of apple peel and orange perhaps, fizzy carb, smooth and soft bread crust-, rusk- and peanut-like maltiness, sweet with a bitterish toasty edge blending with a rooty, zesty, bit powdery, spicy ‘classically American’ hop bitterness in the end. Typical U.S. style amber along the lines of New Belgium’s Fat Tire and the like, rather unassuming perhaps in that respect as this style seems to have become rather obsolete these days, but well-balanced and technically flawless.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - amber and cloudy. Slightly off white and neat lacing. Nose - ripe melon and light mango. Perhaps some citrus. Taste - orange, pungent melon and resin. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. Balanced bitterness on the finish. Overall - decent example of the style.
