It's time for the third of the Oso trio, Science! Another IPA, with a calming design on the can, promising the tropical experience that the normal modern IPAs deliver. It's getting marginally better outside this week, although it's still unpleasantly hot. Good weather for modern ales, I suppose, but I'd rather have more tolerable temperatures and a fridge full of stouts. Well, half-full, IPAs have their charm and desirability for sure. And that can be shown with, what else, Science!
It's another cloudy beer, with a ruddier tinge and fine head. It's not strongly aromatic, but there's a typical IPA hoppiness. The taste is heavy on the fruit, tropical but with an emphasis on citrus. It starts off sweet and rolls down into a sour tang to finish with a slight bitter. There's also some peachiness overlaid on it. I would go so far as to say there's a peach yogurt essence, with a beer this smooth. The fruitiness concentrates a little bit, making the beer a tad sticky as it sits around. It's still delicious, but maybe not quite as refreshing as those that have less flavor but stay clean, or sharper bitter that keeps you on your toes.
Price: €6.35
