Regeneration from Birrificio della Granda

11 months ago

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

[33cl can from Beer52 at 6.5% ABV.] A a glossy inky black pour with a fast fading beige head that laces the glass; aroma of toasted malts with a hint of pine resin; smooth and milky in the mouth with the roasted malts predominant; then a pleasantly bitter finish with the hops coming to the fore. A well made Black IPA.

Majstorica #39 Cold IPA from Brlog Zadružna Pivovara

11 months ago

6.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

[33cl can from Beer52.] A pale straw coloured pour with a loose white head; crisp grapefruit aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a clean peachy taste; and a dry peach kernel touch to the finish. A smooth and refined IPA but lacking punch.
