Copenhagen 12/7 2020. 44 cl can from Meny, Rotunden, Hellerup. What looks like an illustration from an old magazine with sparrows sitting in a magnolia tree on the can. Quote from a Kaj Munk poem on the back of the can.

Pours hazy, murky orange gold with a small white head. Fairly stable. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a juicy citric odor dominating. Light sweet fermented odor underneath. Oranges and tangerine. Citrus and lime. Fermented peach and pineapple.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, soft, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is intense with a strong fermented sweetness followed by a medium strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

The can might look like a nostalgic postcard from the fifties but it actually is a fine, dry and citric DIPA.
