3519 HaandBryggeriet / Crow Hop Tweak #10 NEIPA Norway IPA 4.0

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Fikk tatt en bitteliten smaksprøve av denne i dag, men det var nok til å fastslå at dette er et veldig godt øl! Deilig aroma av frisk appelsin, samt innslag av de fruktene som bryggeriet nevner ovenfor. Disse fruktene går igjen i smaken (de skyldes altså humletilsetningen, og ikke noen frukttilsetning!), men du får likevel en klar forståelse av at dette er et øl, og ikke et glass med fruktjuice. Humlebitterheten er moderat, men merkbar. Nam nam! Sampled again from tap at Mandag i Annen, Cardinal, Stavanger. I really like this one. The best in the Hop Tweak series from HaandBryggeriet so far?
