    Good morning.
    Other Spanish beers (in collaboration with a craft brewery in Berlin) that I tried before going to the Fernando Buesa Arena in Vitoria Gasteiz were:

    Cervesa SOMA (Girona, SPA) + Fuerst Wiacek (Berlin, GER) - CTRL + HAZE - Double IPA (8%).

    44 ml can (7€ at Naski Bar -Vitoria Gasteiz).
    On the label: "Batch: 24-085 - Packaging date: 20/11/2024 - Best before: 20/05/2025".
    As soon as it is opened, notes of ripe and tropical fruit (white peach, melon, pineapple, ripe citrus), when poured it is a (light) pastel yellow color, completely hazy, impenetrable, does not let light pass through. Discrete foam but of little consistency.
    The body is full, with a carbonation that is not flat but not very lively either (however, discrete).
    In the mouth I find a product that is definitely modern: extreme fruitiness, a summer and tropical fruit salad with slightly citrusy hints, without ever really transmitting a bitter note that can rise from this estream fruitiness.
    Very invasive and fragrant taste, which transmits a sensation of freshness of the product.
    That silky sensation is very present that after swallowing leaves the palate full of fruity notes, while on the tongue there are no bitter references (herbaceous or resinous), but malty notes (which are more reminiscent of the crumb of bread).
    The beer is very tasty and hides the alcohol content well, certainly it lacks a hint of bitterness (perhaps citrus) that, in my opinion, would have given a slightly distinctive character to the product.
    But on the other hand, this modern style of interpretation of IPAs does not have these canons and in this case you can grasp the essence.

    Nice open today @Jack_14 , and also nice to see one of your regular pours @Shanex . This is a beer I bought for the first time this Summer, and hope to come across this regularly in the future. One of the best new to me beers this year and among the best Midwest IPA, IMHO. Still going strong 3 weeks beyond the "best by" date.

    New Glarus IPA

    Two for Tuesday features the original version, vetoed by Epic Records, and the final version people are familiar with.

    Good morning BAs! After yesterday’s travel, I went to bed early and slept long and hard…first time in weeks. Morning coffee courtesy of my cellar stash - KBS:

    Bottled 8/1/23. Poured at 52°. Delish 16 months old. An excellent eye opener.

    I have errands to run, and will start putting up decorations. My kid brother could care less, and he doesn’t mind me putting up a tree, stockings, etc., but he won’t help…

    Have a great day BAs, and cheers from the Kanawha Valley y’all!
