A couple of small Electrics @ Pien. The both beers portray more or less the same color: deep dark orange, like banana juice. This one may be marginally darker than the next one but the difference is really insignificant. Anyway, both are turbid. The foams look also very similar, off-white and pillowy. The appearance somehow suggests an overripe fruity package but it's not actually like that. Or at least not entirely. I pick mandarin, orange and tangerine; yes, the sweeter samples of the citrus family. Mango, apricot and a bit of pineapple can also be observed. The taste deviates somewhat from the olfactory trajectory: mango, papaya, a bit of mashed overripe pineapple, tangerine and blood orange. Lactose is my guess as an adjunct. Oat flakes work as a supportive cushioning element in the maltbase. A full body can't be missed. The end is pretty similar to upfront, just a faint dry hoppy vibe lands on my tastebuds now. Worth mentioning is that alcohol is completely absent from the palate, both the actual and aftertaste. The mouthfeel is full, smooth, tropical, nectar-like, ripe, pulpy, moderately drying, too. Not exactly crushable but balanced and astonishingly easy at this ABV level. Yet, rather generic.

Electricin ja Fidensin collab. Juuri sellainen mitä odotti; trooppisen hedelmäinen, makea, jonka seurana sopivasti katkeraa tunnelmaa. Helppo ja laadukas NETIPA, petollisen helppoa juotavaa.

BEER: Up In Arms BREWERY: Electric Brewing Co. x Fidens Brewing Co. BEER STYLE: NETIPA ABV: 10.0% COUNTRY: USA GREY’S VIEW Citra T-90, Citra Cryo & Citra Hop Hash DDH NETIPA. Okay, this one's a collaboration between two juggernauts. And it sure does look like a hazy, milky hued tropicbomb! Head reaches two finger tall and dissepates rather quickly. Taste offers impressive set of all those juicy notes we all love. Lemon peel, dry and juicy caramabola and also sweetier fruits like drangonfruit (with its certain type of dryeness), orange juice and mouthwateringly good ripe honeydew. One might pick also lychee in the mix. So the palate is exceeding expactions quite a bit. Mouthfeel is thick and juicy. There's a touch of yeasty play in the mouthfeel which promotes the texture even more. DDH has been perfected in this one. OTHER NOTES: Oomph level of collaboration beer. Drinks propably a bit too well too, cheers 🍻
