It might be a good idea to stock up on some beers, just in case there are store vacations. In fact, I just found out Birra Y Paz and Cervecissimus will be having some days off this month. I rolled down to the former to see what I could find to keep the whistle wet, and they were having a small sale to empty the fridges as much as possible. 6 cans of IPA for a total of €30.30. It's a small discount, but it is something. The one before me now is Nib Brewing's Virgin Waters, an American IPA specifically. I do like Nib, they might be my favorite of Madrid's gypsy brewers, by association I suppose.
It's a darker shade of gold, but still translucent, with a clean white head that puffs up on pouring but dies down fast. While there's a little citrus in the aroma, it's more pine and bitter spices. Caraway, maybe. The feeling is like a dissolved jello, smooth and very drinkable, although it does weigh down the tongue a little bit. The flavor is also somewhat piney with a more citrusy aftertaste. It's not quite as bright and happy as hOptical, for instance, but it's a solid IPA. For those who long for something a little more traditional it might be a good choice.
Price: €6.15
