This is the second beer of the Aldi Advent Calendar that I'm sharing with the son-in-law via Duo. High, very thick and fluffy head. Copper color. Aroma has citrus notes, tropical. Texture is thin and crisp. Flavor is an overpowering hop bitterness from the first, right through the middle, to the finish and beyond. On the second sip I found hiding far in the background a small whiff of Amber malt which was quickly completely overwhelmed. No citrus fruits or flavors appear. Not sure if anything besides hops was used in this beer but I guess something gave it the amber color. I have never been an IPA lover but the New England IPAs and others that are more fruity and less bitter have appealed to me. This is not it. This is just a pallet smothering of parched bitterness.
