Hello, beer tasters! 🍻 😎 🍻

I assume you survived the May cryptocurrency crash, but of course, a fair amount of beer was needed.
But I have a question for you: Are you ready for the June crash? If not, it would be good to have some strong beers on hand to survive the view of the horror :) 😎

Well, whatever happens, this month, I'm cold-blooded and armed with considerable quantities of the third most drinkable liquid in the world ...

🍻 😎 🍻

Mahou Session IPA

Brewed by commercial brewery Mahou San Miguel, Alovera, Spain. The biggest brewery in Spain, they say.
Bottle, 0.33 l, alcohol 4.5% ABV. It's a Session IPA style, the combination of American hop varieties, incorporated at different stages of the brewing process. This technique is called Late Hopping. OK, I'm always curious to taste what will come out when big, commercial breweries try to brew a specific beer with specific techniques.

The beer is cloudy yellow in color, the head is rather low and disappears quickly. I could smell the IPA in the first sip. The bitterness of the hops is in the foreground, along with tropical flavors and citrus. The sweetness of the malt in the background. In the end, only a bitter freshness remains, which lasts for a while.
A very good and refreshing beer. A true summer IPA.

Bewog The Haze Out Of Space Hazy IPA

Nice. Another IPA-style beer. Brewed by Bewog, Bad Radkersburg, Austria.
Can, 0.33 l, alcohol 6.5% ABV. It's a Hazy IPA or NEIPA (New England Indian Pale Ale), which means that's an American IPA with very intensive fruit flavors and aromas.

They say that this is the latest beer of "Who Cares Edition". Most of the Bewog beers I have tasted so far have been above average quality, so I expect something similar from this beer.

Cloudly yellow color, foam is average. In the first sip, I taste a sharp bitterness with intense tropical fruit flavors, mainly citrus and pineapple. The bitterness is very well balanced with the sweet fruit flavors.
These flavors and aromas are stable throughout, do not let up until the end, and linger in the mouth for quite some time. An excellent beer, it didn't disappoint me, another Bewog excellence!

What can I say in conclusion? Both beers are very good, both brewers have managed to brew very good and tasty beer.
If I had to make a decision, I would say that for my taste the Hazy IPA is a shade better. But I would like to have both in my fridge. :)

And what am I listening to as I write this? As usual, something from my last #newtunes post. A skateboarder and guitarist from San Francisco.
