Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 21A adapted: alcohol free). Can 33 cl - Batch S3118 (BB: unreadable). AROMA: medium to medium-high hop aroma (pine and slight citrusy - lemony). neutral background. APPEARANCE: pale orange and hazy. medium moussy white head with good retention. TASTE: initial medium-low hop flavor (pine, resin, slight lemon). neutral background with hints of malt. very high, harsh bitterness. finishes dry and overly bitter that persists. MOUTHFEEL: low body with medium carbonation. astringency present. OVERALL: an IPA with ok hop aroma and somewhat ok hop flavor (nevertheless with some oddness) but with excessive bitterness for a beer that lacks any-kind of support from malt (or unfermented wort sweetness in this case).
