Hop Hop Hurra
Cervecería Santa Sabina

 

 

Nice label that instigates hop lovers. Amber color with as big as possible off-white head with eternal retention and leaving laces.
Light aroma with notes of pine, grapefruit and spices. I did not feel a bold dry hopping.
Hoppy flavor with lots of resin and pine, grapefruit, grass, lots of spices, earth, mango, lychees, slightly toasted malts and lemon. Dry aftertaste with a long lasting bitterness.
Light towards medium body with good carbonation, somewhat effervescent. Alcohol of 7% abv is well hidden.
Very decent piney and fruity American IPA that won’t let down hop heads. Good option for pine and lemon lovers.

This is the best IPA I've yet had in Mexico. Others seem invariably malty or English-style at best, this one is a true American west-coast style IPA, with plenty of hop aroma.
A: Looked a tad darker than other IPA's, so I thought the taste would come off more amber than pale, but everything else was appealing, head retention, etc.
A: Immediate nose of citrus/pine from generous dry hopping
T: Again, best Mexican IPA for me so far. Lots of juicy fruits and citric bitterness.
M: Tad dry and spritzy, but light body without malty stickiness.
O: Excellent American-style IPA, especially when compared to other efforts from Mexican breweries.

Looks bright amber hazy, mild white head almost no retention. Smells citrusy, piney and fruity. Tastes balanced, bitter and fruity. Low body low carbonation. Very nice IPA I would like a little bit more carbonation for mouth sensation.
