sexto

On the sixth day of Beermas I went and got for me
Six geese post-laying
Five gold nuts
Four obvious non-kiwis
A three-time remade masterpiece
Two guarding lions
And a crow glaring silently

It’s not every time that you can find the exact bird, but geese aren’t all that unusual. These geese have hatched after the laying, though. The name seems to be sarcastic; I don’t remember ever noticing geese flying in silence, or even walking that quietly. It’s just an IPA, from Barcelona’s Little Rain, no super hopping or extra zap, but it is a classic style. Classics usually hang around for a reason.

All the recent beers have been very foamy and this one is no exception. It seems to have been filled right to capacity and there’s a threat of an escape when the tab pops. The head does not actually hang around very long, releasing a standard IPA hops cloud. There’s also some kind of rubbery smell lurking in there. The taste starts out like a more traditional bitter IPA with a light coating of more modern fruity hops, but suddenly it’s all wrapped up in a raincoat. And in rubber boots. I guess that’s to go with the name.
