330ml bottle, opened at Les Collines Iduki, Pays Basque. Pours opaque orange, loose bubbly white head. Nicely bitter pithy grapefruit.. fresh and fruity, not quite as light bodied as you expect from an IPL, quite full and hoppy. Decent overall.

330ml bottle from an Espellette pepper farm. Pours a slightly unclear amber, off-white head. Amber malts with a very subtle pepper kick, perhaps some ostensible sweetness from the pepper. Medium to light-bodied. Ok

440ml can from Kutixik Delicatessen, San Sebastien, drunk from the can with a sandwich from the deli on some steps outside. Aroma brings full fruity exotics, smooth full body with a vibrant exotic haze profile. Really good.
