Copenhagen 29/4 2019. 44 cl can from Voldby Købmandsgård (Web-shop). Drawing of four-eyed, big mouthed thirsty looking fellow on the can.

Pours hazy, milky, golden yellow with a small white head. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing to speak of.

Aroma is intense, acidic, citric and fresh. Sour mandarin, Grape fruit and lemon. Some very light sweet berries in the background.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft texture.

Flavor is medium sweet followed by a strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Finish is dry. Lingering.

Not overly boozy. Solid citric brew with an adequate malt base to insure it's not all fruit juice.

Served in a tulip from the can.

Appearance: comes off as super cloudy yellow with medium bubbles to the body creating a whitehead which rises and initially have a finger's length with a bigger is poor and settles pretty quickly after one sip.

Smell: light doses of grapefruit and lemon skin. You can inhale the hops to pretty strong but they dissipate from the nostrils rapidly.

Taste: sweet grapefruit yet very malty beer. It comes off a very special bitter but the sweet hops definitely offset the brew. Think of a fresh squeezed lemon into a floral IPA.

Mouth: sticky beer becomes off slightly dry, not exactly a thirst-quencher but with a full body and medium carbonation it does become addicting.

Overall: Great find it was actually a gift from a very good friend of mine which lives in Spain. If you ever so lucky to have it grab another, always in a glass...Salud!

De Decervecitas. En copa Teku. Viendo Los 100 3x01-02. IPA herbal con amargor intenso, especialmente al final de la lata. Suave en boca y con un muy agradable y largo retrogusto. Bastante buena pero le falta algo especial para sobresalir
