Craft Beer Review

Appearance

Perfectly clear once chill haze dissipates. Golden.

Aroma

Orthonasal Aroma

Bubblegum. A vanilla-like sweetness from a blend of malt sweetness and Mosaic-type sweetness. Mellow and languid. Grassy impression too. Strong Strata-like strawberry impression. Also a Citra-like ripe melon impression. Definitely IPA.

Retronasal Flavor

Alcohol and chicle impressions. Grapefruit. A sweetness that wraps IPA bitterness in a bubble gum-like sweetness. Definite alcohol sweetness too. Meanwhile, the chicle impression and malt sweetness are both present. The balance of sweetness is excellent.

Taste

Mouthfeel

Beer-like.

Body and Texture

Fluffy alcohol flavors and malt character overflow. A sticky berry-like sweetness rubs against the tongue. Meanwhile,

The Moment of Swallowing

Falls down the throat like water. Like a whiskey highball. No dank impression.

Aftertaste

A refreshing sensation remains, like drinking Fanta Grape in a fresh meadow. Feels great. Slight Pocari Sweat vibe.

Bottom of the Glass

Grassy impression. Better not to mix the sediment. Tasty, but you can really taste the sediment.

Overall Impression

A modern, tropical yet firmly bitter classic IPA! Contemporary with solid bitterness – a must-drink for IPA lovers.
