It's supposed to get more humane this week, maybe even rain a little bit. Gray skies need a little brightening, so I feel justified in having an IPA. A nice hoppy one, too, to reenergize. Naparbier is always a good choice, and Aker has an interesting label design. More than an IPA, it's a West Coast IPA, so no tropical sweetness expected, probably a lighter feel than a NEIPA. Although I would have been happy with that too.
It's a bit cloudy for a West Coast IPA, but it has a tangy, spicy aroma that fits right in. It has a straw yellow color, fine, white head. The flavor is light, although the beer has a sort of resistance in the mouth that's surprising. It's resiny, with a tiny touch of citrus. There's also a hint of pine and an undercurrent of wood, but I don't think I can tell if it's pine wood or any other kind. The fruity flavors come out little by little, a blend of orange, mango and cucumber. Maybe there's some melon in there too. It's a very refreshing kind of mixture, light feeling and summery.
Price: €3.40
