ChrisOfstad (5258) - Hamar, NORWAY - DEC 26, 2020UPDATED: DEC 26, 2020 0,473 litre Can, at home. Hazy yellow / orange with white head. Malts, hops, Citrus, sweetness, well balanced.
Alengrin (9649) - Gent, BELGIUM - DEC 14, 2020UPDATED: DEC 14, 2020 Galaxy-hopped hazy APA from what are usually – and justly – considered the great masters in this style, thanks to Meeki for sharing! Egg-white, mousy, medium thick, opening, shred-lacing head over a hazy apricot blonde robe with pale orange tinge. Highly aromatic, tropical nose of green kiwi, ripe pineapple, guava, biscuit, mandarin, champagne, freshly cut grass, dry bread crumbs, diesel, cider, gin. Sweetish onset, utterly juicy, lots of pineapple, green kiwi and guava effects, medium fizz, soft and full, bit fluffy mouthfeel; sweet-bready, lightly biscuity malts soaked in highly aromatic, refined hoppiness, dry cider, passionfruit, kiwi and – weirdly but very pleasantly – champagne-like flavours, as well as a soft end bitterness bringing balance. The alcohol remains remarkably well hidden. Extremely refined, layered and vibrant – every craft brewer toying around with New England style APAs and IPAs should learn from this top notch brewery.
