jann3 (769) - Espoo, FINLAND - JAN 1, 2021UPDATED: JAN 1, 2021 This christmas themed IPA is my first tasting and review of the year 2021:
Pours clear dark amber with a large beige head. Malty aroma with notes of sweet tropical fruits and syrup. Taste follows the aroma with fruity sweetness. Finishes with a pleasant dryish touch of pine flavour. Smooth mouthfeel. Soft to average carbonation. A slightly on the sweeter side, but still a rather nice IPA. (Poured from a 0,5 l can, bb 24/06/21)
