Will we ever find a light at the end of this tunnel of restrictions and disinterest? It's the disinterest that's the worst. People don't even want to do free things anymore. It's a time to brood over a brew, that's for sure. I could have gone the solemn stout route, but somehow a bright and bubbly IPA just called to me. Maybe it was the name: Hashtag Modern IPA. It's a beer from Península, which seems to be weathering the viral storm without much trouble, at least in terms of inspiration.
Awfully fizzy for a beer that's been in my refrigerator all night. Wasn't in the door either, so no extra shaking. Oh well, there have been greater disasters. It has that nice almost piney IPA smell and it's definitely on the lighter side of the color scale. It has that sweetish flavor that lots of modern IPAs have, very fruity, not bitter hardly at all. I can catch just tiny hints of citrus, but it's much more melony. There's also an oddly dusty feel to it, like some pulp or fruit fibers made it through the strainer. The beer itself is perfectly clear, though. Although the flavor develops some interesting layers, herbal and spicy notes, it never really gets beery bitter. It's just a sort of liquid pesto. However, the beer feels too delicate to do any kind of cooking with. It's definitely one you want to have somewhat cool to be at its best level of refreshing.
