Aroma is rather malty, almost syrupy, hinting at an IPA that unbalanced to the malt—there’s some hop resins in there, but they’re faint. Flavour confirms this impression; there’s resinous hops, as well as some nice bitterness, but the syrupy malts then…

Aroma has a rather unpleasant hop expression: seems sort of stale, sweaty, maybe a touch of pine in there. Flavour is downright unpleasant, with stale, vegetal notes, some bitterness, dry biscuity malt on the underside. Is that all due bad hops, or is…

Matt is drinking a Stiefel German Pilz by Primate at Stiefel Pub
Aroma reveals subdued grassy hops, straw, and soft biscuity malt. Flavour is lightly bitter, with gentle grassy hops, straw, and crisp biscuity malt. A bit too herbaceous, almost vegetal, but it has decent bite. Not bad.

Was curious to see how they make NEIPAs here. No hop burn at all, not much happening at all actually. But the tacos were great!

777 and it’s a devil of a beer, big on hops, bitterness and residual yeastiness.

Aroma reveals black liquorice, a touch of cocoa, and a touch of red fruits. Flavour is sour—well, this is infected—with tart red fruits, a touch of liquorice, and vinegar. How can you sell such obviously infected nonsense? Egregious.
