Canned@Littlepub, Vaasa. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is mango, some lactose, mild fruits and wood to it. Flavour is mango, some tropical fruits, lactose and mild tartness.
Can from Cotteridge Wines Birmingham and shared in Bangkok. Poured a hazy orange straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big mango and milkshake, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, fruity, lactose, dry floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
Very hazy orange with a small off white head. Aroma of herbal hops, mango, citrus, fruits and spicy hops. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Milkshake IPA with mango and tonka beans - this is extravagant even to today's standards, but then this is what you'd expect from a brewery calling themselves Anarchy, I suppose. Thanks to Ama Deke for sharing the can at Bar Beenhouwer in Ghent. No head whatsoever, apart from a few loose egg-white bubbles that quickly dissolve into nothing; cloudy passionfruit lemonade-like yellow robe. Aroma of green mango (more so than sultry, sweet, tropical ripe mango), freshly cut white celery even, pomelo, green banana, some marzipan from the tonka beans but not overpowering anything, canned peaches, granadilla. Fruity onset as in tropical fruit juice but not overly sweet as I was fearing, rather a bit 'green' as in, again, green mango and unripe banana; fizzy carb (strangely seen the lack of head), supple and evidently lactose-creamy body. Doughy maltiness is sweetened by the lactose but the green mango effect adds balancing sourishness, while the tonka beans again remain relatively restrained in their sweet retronasal aromatic effects. Some light hop bitterness in the end lingers a bit. I was fearing another overly sweet, creamy, tropical, fruit-forward drink, but the sweetness has been cleverly kept at bay, there is some soft and late but importantly balancing bitterness left and the tropical aroma effects do not overpower the rest of the beer - this is actually a bit more 'restrained', strangely, than I was expecting, but in this particular range of beers, that is for the better as far as I am concerned.
1/XI/19 - 44cl can @ Bar Beenhouwer, the weekend without kids, BB: V/2020 - (2019-1794) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Very cloudy yellow beer, practically no head, just some big bubbles, falling down pretty quickly. Aroma: bad, this is very bad, smells like spoiled yoghurt, slightly fruity, lots of diacetyl. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bad, yoghurt, unpleasant bitterness, lactose, dry, soapy, bit floral. Aftertaste: very bitter, more soapy, dirty chemical bitterness, pretty bad beer, what the hell is wrong with this one?
