Hyvä ale. Ei oikein edes ehtinyt maistella, kun meinasi kuivua ikeniin.

Nyt ei harmita, kun ostin vain yhden. Vetinen.

Semicloudy, deep amber beer with shy carbonation releases a creamy head that fails to show off. It grows probably half a finger tall at maximum and dissolves hastily to a hair-thin lace ring and a fragile haze on the top. I sniff the beer. Quite sweet. Strange. Biscuit, bun, dough, honeydew, sweet malt, rye porridge... No hops in the scent. Promises a grain-forward experience. Except that the gustatory journey isn't particularly sweet. Grainy, yes, but also grassy hoppy. Malt, bread, graham cracker, bitter caramel. Very malty for an IPA. Not necessarily my first priority. The body is medium to medium-full. I like it. Ends with a sweet-leaning grainy malty and crackery tail. The hoppy side is oppressed but not enslaved. The mouthfeel is medium-full, a bit crisp, medium-dry, drying and somewhat wintry for some reason. Lip-glueing. Well, not really my best pick but sinks down anyway. Classical but not classical enough.

Tunkkaisen makuinen ja vetinen ipa odotukset oli paljon korkeammalla.

Matalahappoinen, pehmeän ja hedelmäisen maltainen, miellyttävä katkero
