Merry Christmashu!

Today is the 19'th and we're slowly coming to an end of this year's Christmas calendar, with only five more to savour after this one.

This day's ale is yet another DIPA. This one is from Stigbergets, and is called Bigger Bolder.
As mentioned previously, a DIPA is basically just an IPA but with a higher VOL. And for IPA, a higher VOL also means the ale can contain more hops without it feeling out of balance, which can make them more fruity.

The can was turned on its head for a couple minutes before pouring, since this one is unfiltered. No point in leaving the good stuff at the bottom of the can.
After turning it back up and pouring it, it leaves a bright orange and pretty colour in the glass, leaving a small white head.

The ale smells both like lemon and partially of oranges.

Taking a sip, it doesn't leave behind a bitter unwelcoming flavour as some may fear. The ale is fruity and has a gentle body and does taste very familiar to oranges or mandarins, neither that's yet fully ripe. This light sourness is probably due to the citra hops.
A pleasant beer to enjoy.

Merry Christmas
