Copenhagen 26/1 2023. 50 cl bottle from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. As "Det Lille Bryggeri Columbus IPA". Label in Det Lille Bryggeri’s usual design with a green sun hovering over the American continents.

Pours unclear amber with a huge off-white head. Settles as 2 cm thick blanket of foam covering the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense and a bit dampened by the foam with a sweet malty odor mingling with citrus fruits and floral notes. Sweet pale malts, caramel and bread. Sweet nectar. Grapefruit and lemon.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, smooth, gently tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a citric streak. Lingers for a while. Finish is rather dry.

I would not travel around the world for it - but an overall decent Indian Pale Ale.
