Copenhagen 7/12 2019. 33 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Very purple can with a drawing involving an erotically elated lady, a hop flower and a Chinese dragon head.

Pours hazy, golden yellow with a medium-sized white head. Settles as a thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer.

Aroma is medium-intense with exotic sweet fruit intermingling with citrus fruit. Mango, pineapple and peach. Notes of grape fruit and orange.

Fairly strong carbonation. Slightly thick, smooth but lively texture.

Flavor is intense. Medium sweetness followed by a stronger, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with alight sweet undercurrent. Semi-dry finish.

Intense, freshly fruity and citric IPA.

 

 

 

 

From notes.
Poured from a 440ml tin.

Pours and hazy straw with no significant head, a ring of foam does it. The smell is of apricot, hops and alcohol and the taste follows on with a light sweetness and touch of bitterness to balance things out. The mouthfeel is thick and oily, kinda heavy with tiny bubbles.
Overall, very pine heavy beer though the fruity sweetness and bitterness add something.

It's like a mild version of Jaipur with a bit more fruitieness, but still packs a punch with bitterness. Not much of a lasting after-taste which makes overall satisfaction of drinking it sub-par.

Pours hazy bright gold.with a one finger white head. Aroma is lightly sweet and floral with citrus notes, very pleasant. Taste is hop forward with great citrus notes and a little orange blossom and a smooth finish like melon (but not). Light pale malt comes through. Moderate bitterness with a clean finish. Really enjoyed this one on tap in London.

Look: hazy yellow/orange with a small, thin layer of bubbles

Smell: citrus, hops

Taste: citrus again, a touch of resin, balanced bitterness on the finish

Feel: light bodied, very easy drinking

Overall: not a complex or demanding beer but a pleasant one. Very sessionable.

 

 

330ml Can from Morrisons (£1.95):
Light, translucent gold with a tiny, bubbly white lacing on top that's patchy on the surface too. The nose opens with pine hops, some floral touches & faint malts, mango & maybe some wheat too but the balance is good. Lemon, citrus & floral hops open the taste with some pine & faint tropical flavours. It's similar to the nose, perhaps & little more basic but still pleasant. The mouthfeel is sharp, tangy & well carbonated on a medium body; a shaky start but it was alright in the end. 

look: one finger white head which quite quickly dissipates to a thin layer of bubbles, beer is a hazy murky orange amber colour, really quite a foggy beer.

smell: really fresh and juicy smelling, lot of orange, some caramel malt flavour, blood orange, pink grapefruit, some pine, rather sweet but fruity sweet, inviting.

taste: all fruit, just a wave of fresh juicy fruit flavours, load of orange, mango and pink grapefruit, although it is lacking on the bitterness side of things, only a feint bit of bitterness on the finish, still a nice tasting beer.

feel: light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, incredibly drinkable, goes down so smoothly, slight bit of lingering bitterness on the back of the tongue.

overall: quite a decent ipa here from siren, a brewery whose beers i definitely want to drink more of, good stuff.

 

No words can do justice. I really like it...so bitter, but fruity. Amazing!

I will write a longer review when I try it again, but I loved it too much to write anything this time.

 

Unfined & Unfiltered. Suitable for vegans.
L4.25 Colour is spot on for an IPA, golden. I like the hazy cloud from the unfining. Head is small, but thick and creamy and held well.
S4.25 Good fruit nose.
T4 Good balance. Not getting huge hop flavours, but probably orange notes coming through the most.
F3.75 Decent carbonation, but definitely lacking a bit in body.
T4 Was looking for something that might knock Thornbridge Jaipur from being my favourite UK produced IPA. Good effort, but not quite as good.

De 32gp. En copa Teku. Estudiando Reglamento de PA. Suavemente resinosa y con un cuerpo bastante ligero. Está bien pero pasa desapercibida. Era oferta por estar pasada de fecha. Sin apenas espuma
