Been too long since I've had a Kölsch, but this doesn't look like one. Overall a bit too dirty as well, I suspect.

IPA DE LA PAZ
brewed by Seek Beer Co.

Hazy dark orange, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of ripe mango, orange juice, peach, papaya, cake, pine resin, grapefruit, hashish, cheese rind, vague diesel. Taste has sweetish unripe peach, mango & mandarin surrounding a bitter core of grapefruit, orange peel, pine and some herbal hashish, supported by a bready & cake-like malt base. Very bitter finish of resinous, piney & bit grassy hops but countered by juicy citrus peel & grapefruit; a hop burn is apparent but remains controlled. Medium body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Intense and elegant, but perhaps a tad less complex (and fresh?) than the Focal Banger which we tried right before it. Still, this is evidently a benchmark IPA.
Hazy ochre, stable, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe tangerine, grapefruit, sweat, onion, hashish, sweaty cheese, old orange juice, biscuit, pine resin. Taste has sweetish tangerine, melon & grape quickly turning towards bitter grapefruit & orange peel in a peanutty, biscuity malt body with hints of dank cheese & onion. Very bitter finish of piney & resinous hops, grapefruity, tonic-like almost, with herbal, green & dank edges. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Impressive stuff, juiciness contained in a raw profile. Well worth its price on the aforementioned webshop.
A: hazy black, stable, foamy, beige head.
A: salted caramel, butterscotch, soy sauce, brownie, black olive, bourbon.
T: sweet-salty caramel, dark chocolate, cream, mocha, bit umami.
F: soft peppery hops, caramel, warming bourbon alcohol and a whiff of vanilla.
P: medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Surprisingly, I'm getting less acetaldehyde than expected. Then again it's quite heavy on the caramel, and this ruins the barrel & general profile a bit for me.
