Port Brewing High Tide

Port Brewing High Tide (Bottle) 6,5%
This beer was part of a news release at Systembolaget a couple of months ago. It cost 89 SEK and according to www.systembolaget.se there are still bottles available but it is probably just a miss count on their behalf as usual.

A pale yellow liquid with just a little bit of haze with a small white foam. The last couple of cl was allot more hazy due to some sediment on the bottom.

Strong smell of grapefruit, hops, grass, fruity, passion fruit.

Taste: 9/10
Strong taste with lots of hops, also grapefruit, fruits, grass and passion fruit. High bitterness and long aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: 4/5
Smooth mouthfeel that wasn't very harsh. Medium body.

Comment:
I enjoyed this beer, a nice american style IPA fresh with lots of hops both grassy, fruity and a very noticeable grapefruit flavor. With a very high bitterness if that is what you fancy. I think this would work great on a hot summer day. If I where to combine this with food I would choose a tasty and salty hard cheese.


Total: 4,1/5
