KINKI is a Hazy IPA craft beer, born from the collaboration between Vetra and the French brewery 90 BPM. The name is a tribute to a historic club in the center of Bologna, the city designated for the launch of the beer. Cashmere hops, chosen by our French friends for this beer, give KINKI an explosive and fresh aroma, with hints of mango, papaya and ripe strawberry. KINKI is the perfect choice for lovers of craft beers with an intense and fruity flavor.

MALTS: Pils, Monaco, Oat flakes, Wheat flakes.

August 2023. 33 cl can (€5). It is a "One shot" beer from their line called "Wondercraf", it is a collaboration between Vetra di Varese and a Microbrewery from Dijon.
It is defined as a: DDH Session Hazy IPA.
On the label: "Lot: L366 - Best before: 11/2023".
Freshly uncorked, mainly aromas of ripe citrus fruits, then also summer fruit (melon, apricot).
When poured, it produces a medium foam, but of poor consistency... It soon vanishes.
It is a light golden color that is quite "cloudy", not transparent.
In the mouth, a very light body accompanied by a lively (but not excessive) carbonation, a very pleasant sensation.
The characteristic traits of many "hazy IPAs" can be found, yellow fruit (especially peaches and plums), sweet yellow melon and slightly more bitter citrus notes (grapefruit, ripe orange). Between this fruity taste and the finish, we find that silky sensation which effectively puts an end to the explosiveness of the fruit, without there being room for a noteworthy bittering note.
On the palate there is still ample space for fruity notes of ripe and summer fruit.
Very fragrant and tasty beer, although that sense of "silky" takes away from a bitter and dry taste.
