29/6/2025. Can from AlbMarket, Tirana. Enjoyed on the balcony back at my apartment. As Edelmeister 0.0%. Pours clear golden with a lasting frothy white head. Looked the part. Aroma is worty, malty, play-dough, cardboard. Taste is same. Not good. Moderate body, oily, gassy. Hints of citrus coming through redeemed it just slightly. Not good, hard to enjoy even in this heat.

29/6/2025. Random bottle find at a SPAR in Tirana. From the bottle on my apartment balcony. Sweet lager with a light bitterness and a limey edge. Basic but cold and wet on a hot day it’s okay.

29/6/2025. Random can find at a SPAR in Tirana. Enjoyed on my balcony back at the apartment. Pours clear pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, cardboard, grains, cereal. Quite sweet with mild bitterness and a tart and tinny edge. Light bodied, watery, quite fizzy. Initially hits a sweet spot in 34 degrees in Tirana but even in this heat soon becomes tiresome.

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.
