On the fifth day of Beermas I went and bought for me
Five collaborations
Five collaborations
Four miles of nowhere
Three tropical tree eggs
Two staring wings
And an icy raven looking needy
What do I get for number five this year, another golden ale? Can I get away with any blond beer on color alone? Actually, PenĂnsula comes to the rescue with Entre Amigos and its friendly circles on the can. Not only is it an invitation to potential drinkers, it's a collaboration beer, with Sparkle, only deepening the ties. It's a hazy IPA, so a style that several friends of mine would be happy to share a can of. Later I found out there were more than one iterations of Entre Amigos, with different partners. Makes sense, and now I'm wondering if I can track more down...
For an IPA, it has a surprisingly ruddy color, even being a hazy. Quite opaque too. The aroma is perky and sharp, with a very modern feel to it. The taste is no surprise based on that: a little spice, caraway, snappy, not very citrusy but there's some light summery fruit in there. In the mouth it makes itself unignorable, but once swallowed it disappears cleanly, so really a very nice drink. I might prefer it on a warmer day, on a sunny street, but then again I drink inside whenever I can.
