A few days ago, I was doing my usual grocery run at the local supermarket, just going through the aisles like always. You know how it is... getting the essentials and making sure I didn’t forget anything. As I reached the end of my list, I casually walked past the alcoholic drinks section, just to have a look... And there it was. A new IPA caught my eye! Or as Maisel & Friends cleverly put it, an "Intense Pure Awesome". I couldn't resist picking one up because, let's be honest, I hadn’t tried their take on an IPA yet, and I was curious.
Fast forward to today!!!!! I finally cracked it open and took a few shots of it for you guys. Now, let’s talk about the taste. First impressions? Damn, it’s smooth. It’s one of those beers that go down easy but still packs a punch. It’s got 6.3% ABV, but you barely notice it in the taste, which can be dangerous if you're not careful!
Maisel's nailed their motto with this one—crisp, fruity, and just the right amount of bitterness to keep things interesting. Definitely a solid brew to savor slowly.
For just 1.79€ for a 0.33l bottle, I think it’s a steal. I’m definitely going to try more of their IPAs in the coming weeks and see how the rest of the range holds up. This one’s got me hooked for now.
