pirisic victory

It's still Beer Week in Madrid!  Now to the Spanish beers, officially, even though some venues are focusing on bringing foreign brews to the public (Looking at you, L'Europe).  First I picked up an IPA, being one of the classic styles of Madrid craft brewing.  It's actually from Barcelona, but that's still domestic.  For now, anyway.  This beer, more completely, is an American Red IPA, so while I expect flavor, I'm supposing it will be a soft, relaxed taste.

It's a rusty color with a refreshing citrusy smell.  The head is off-white, a touch overbubbly.  True to its kind, it's strongly bitter, with some undernotes of mild sweetness.  The head is resistant, leaving a foam that covers the top of the beer completely even after several minutes in the glass.  After the heavier German beers, this is a nice, easy-going one that feels like a conversation supporter.
