I'm excited for something from La Quince, although it isn't a famous Black Velvet. Maybe a later date? Anyway, this is something that might tickle anime fans with the picture on the label, and maybe the name Angry Boy would make more sense to them too. It's a DDH Cream IPA, which doesn't sound like an aggressive or punchy style, but I have been fooled by light-sounding modifiers to IPA before. It's a respectable level of alcohol at over 6%, so it shouldn't be watered down in any way.
Very light - creamy- color, and almost whipped cream resting on top. Just popping the top of the can releases a slightly spicy fragrance. There's a flowery perfume too, a sophisticated blend of hops. The taste is very subtle at first, but soon a little clovery sweetness makes an appearance, washed down by a light IPA bitter. Some spikes of bread also pop up. It's a soft tasting beer, despite being double dry hopped, so maybe things got better kept in the aroma. There's some sensation in the aftertaste, warming the throat and tickling the back of the tongue. It settles down into a pretty stable but layered flavor, a bed of bitter and a topping of sweetness. Much sweeter than you expect an angry boy to be.
