My beer parcel finally arrived today after being lost from the Finnish post for weeks and eventually returned to the seller. Fortunately only two out of 25 beers are of DIPA/NEDIPA style whereas the absolute majority are Imperial Stouts, Barley Wines, Quads, Wee Heavy and other non-perishable styles. The collection was going to be my Beer Advent Calendar but it failed. Instead of starting now in the midway, I drink these every now and then towards the end of the year, during Christmas and New Year break and beyond as long as they last. Probably not too long anyway... 😋đŸș This DIPA boasts of six hops. The label art is intriguing, no idea what creature it is but it's obviously very rare. Maybe even endangered. The beer colors simply beautiful, like thick mango juice. The extrovert carbonation unleashes a brilliant white, soft velvety head that surpasses 1.5 fingers. The retention is really long as the contracted head floats as a foamy pillow on the surface. The retreating froth messes the glass with a dense lacing. The nose enjoys astonishingly powerful strawberry, some mango, bubblegum and a pinch of coconut. Additionally, I'm getting a bit of peach and a drop of mandarin juice. â€ïžđŸ§ĄđŸ’› The taste receptors love the soft fruity nuances: orange, mandarin, mango, pineapple, apricot and peach. Strawberry is not absent in the taste either. Coconut is modest, so is vanilla. Quite milkshakey in effect. The flavor cocktail is also interestingly diverse given the best before date will be on 15 Dec, i.e. the day after tomorrow. So, this is half a year old and was, of course, discounted in the webshop. Not sure, though, how much of the sweeter bubblegummy taste is a result of the age -- at least the zesty citrusy side is subdued -- and how much that of the hop composition, especially Ekuanot and Sabro as well as Galaxy to a lesser extent. Whatever the reason is, this is simply awesome! đŸ’›đŸ§Ąâ€ïž The body is medium-full to full. That's actually super since the ABV is not more than 8 %. The finish is soft and smooth, portraying sweet pineapple, mango, mandarin and apricot. Orange and strawberry can't be missed either. Coconut and vanilla cream feature nicely in the immediate proximity. The aftertaste shakes, rattles and rolls on tongue for a short time only. The mouthfeel is velvety, mellow, creamy and milkshakey. It's colossally tropical, nicely deep, juicy and pulpy. Relatively multidimensional and nicely appealing. At least this is well aged! And still so flavorsome!

PitkĂ€stĂ€ aikaa Verdanttia lasiin Pavement Licker DipađŸș,mistĂ€ on monia eri (24) tölkki kuoseja saatavilla😎.Meinas melkeen jÀÀdĂ€ tĂ€mĂ€ (liian) pitkĂ€ksi kaappiin😅.Tölkitetty 15.6.20 eli lĂ€hentelee jo 7 viikkoista. Humalina hÀÀrÀÀvĂ€t Ekuanot,Sabro,Amarillo,Galaxy,Idaho7 ja Simcoe.SiinĂ€ rupee olemaan taas kattausta đŸ˜ŽđŸ». Tuoksu raikas ja makean(sokerisen) mandariininen,kevyen melonisen mangoinen ja ihan kuin hyppysellin sitĂ€ kookostakin saattaisi vilahtaa😋. Maku on vielĂ€ tĂ€ssĂ€kin iĂ€ssĂ€ melkoisen makean hedelmĂ€ pommin sisĂ€llÀÀn pitĂ€vĂ€đŸ€Ș.MandariiniĂ€,mangoa ja ananasta lĂ€hes pilvin pimein,melko makeaan tapaan tarjoiltuna.TĂ€ssĂ€ ekan kerran Ipoissa/Dipoissa tuon Sabron poimin selkeĂ€mmin tuolta mausta,puskee sellaista vĂ€hĂ€n raskaan oloista kevyen rasvaista kookoksisuutta esiinđŸ€”.VĂ€hĂ€n kahen vaiheilla pidĂ€nkö siitĂ€ tĂ€ssĂ€ vai enđŸ˜…đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž. Suutuntuma on miellyttĂ€vĂ€ kermaiseen taittava,kauraisuuden sitĂ€ vielĂ€ aavistuksen pöyhentĂ€essĂ€.Melko tĂ€ytelĂ€inen ja đŸ€€. TĂ€mĂ€ varmasti noin kolmisen viikkoa sitten ollut vielĂ€ antoisampi kyntĂ€jĂ€.VielĂ€kin uppoaa kuin puuro hullulleđŸ˜…đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž.VĂ€hĂ€n kuin olisi ollut miehekkÀÀmpi katkerointi tĂ€ssĂ€ melko makeassa matkassa,vielĂ€ mukana olisi ollut aivan posketon varmasti tĂ€mĂ€.(ainakin tuoreempana😅) đŸ»đŸ˜ŽđŸ‘Š

Työviikon, salin ja saunan jĂ€lkeen alkaa LOMA ja sen kunniaksi vĂ€hĂ€n olutta. Verdantin NEDIPAa pĂ€ivĂ€yksellĂ€ 15.6. ULKOASULTAAN olut on sameaa ananasmehunkeltaista ja siihen nousee kuohkea valkoinen nĂ€tti vaahto. TUOKSU on hedelmĂ€inen: ananaksinen, mangoinen, passionhedelmĂ€inen, greippinen ja taustalla aavistus sabron kookoksisuutta. MAKU... ae, ettĂ€ on pehmeÀÀ. Kermaisuutta, mangoa, passionhedelmÀÀ, miedosti ananasta, yrttisyyttĂ€ ja greippiĂ€. Loppumakua kohti greippi nousee selkeĂ€mmin esille. Ja sabro, ai miten hyvin on tuolla taustalla tuo kookoksisuus ja tekee oikein 👌 pehmeĂ€n kermaisen aromin kanssa. Pirtelö-mehu-IPAa! SUUTUNTUMA on melko tĂ€ytelĂ€inen ja pehmeĂ€. Aah... TÀÀ sabrohan alkaa toimimaan! Muutenkin vĂ€hĂ€n erikoisehko tuo humalakombo. Todella kesĂ€inen ja kesĂ€lomainen nedipa. TykkÀÀn ja kovasti. JĂ€lkikĂ€teen kun katson muiden arvosteluita, niin en ainakaan omastani vihannesta onneksi löytĂ€nyt. Olisiko tuurilla osuutta asiaan?đŸ€”
