IPA
Taihu Brewing

From a can produced 11/17/25. Light amber color with foamy beige head. Piney hop aroma. Medium body with a sticky feel. Bready malt with piney hops and a lingering bitterness. Good stuff, nails the West Coast style.

Canned in a little stubbie 330ml stubbie can and delivered as part of Beer52’s Taiwan pack
Pours a Clear lemon jello coloured body with big frothy white head
Aroma is white chocolate and grapefruit
Flavour is bitter citrus

On tap in Taipei, Xinyi location. Poured a golden copper in color with a finger thick foamy white head on top. Aroma is pine, citrus and slight dank. Taste is the same with a lovely bready malt backbone. Drinks smooth with moderate carbonation, perhaps a touch of mineral water but quite pleasant and refreshing. This is a lovely, hoppy beer. Certainly not easy to find here. Slightly reminiscent of Russian River's Blind Pig IPA, though perhaps slightly less pungent. I will seek this out again while I'm here. Cheers!

 

 

500ml can from Buckeyeboy. Hazy golden pour with a persistent white foamy head. Mellow hoppy aroma, citrus, pine. Taste is a solid hoppy backbone on top of some bready malts. Greatly exceeded my expectations.

 

Poured at fridge temp. Pours a semi-transparent yellow with an inch of white head. Bubbles rising throughout. The nose is dank resin, pine needles, bread, and slight lemon.

The taste is pretty smooth. Slight mineral taste. Otherwise, really nice hop bitterness and stone fruit sweetness. A bit of leather and a dankness.
