I've had my share of LLipa before, it's one of the typical offerings that La Quince has at Prost Chamberí. Or used to have, it's been a while since I've had the pleasure of going down there. It's the third IPA in a row, so I hope there are some black beers coming up towards the end.
The bottle opens to the expected piney, fruity, fuzzy scent. The ruddy orange color also makes the beer look like a flavorful drink. The head is creamy and resistant, although not overly abundant. The taste is very much IPA, although with less fruit than you might suppose, it's a little more traditional. It's bitter and hoppy, with a strong texture in the mouth. It's not rough or spiky, it's very smooth in spite of its weight. Although bitter, the taste is very clean, leaving nothing sticky behind. An essence of pine starts to take over after a bit, but the beer stays very relaxed and calm. You could enjoy it by itself perfectly well, but it's just light enough to pair up with some flavorful food without causing trouble.
