Hello, beer lovers! 🍻

It's cold here outside. The transition from summer to autumn used to last longer, but now it's almost as if it has been cut short. In one week, the average temperature dropped from 25°C to 15 °C. The mornings are already cold, a couple of degrees above zero. I hope it doesn't stay that way and that something else will change. However, this won't significantly affect #beersaturday, as we're already on 431 in a row. We don't give up that easily. 😎

I have two cans in front of me, one Danish and one Polish. I will be happy to empty them and share my experience.

First, the one with less alcohol.

🍻 😎 🍻

Edelmeister IPA

Brewed by Van Pur, Rakszawa, Województwo podkarpackie, Poland. Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 4.7% ABV, IBU 28. Session India Pale Ale.

What do the Master Brewers say?

Our session IPA is delightfully drinkable. As a typical top-fermented beer, it boasts noticeable hints of citrus and a distinctly hoppy taste resulting from the highly aromatic American and German hop varieties used in the brew.

I think I've had this beer in Poland before; I even brought it home. But that was a few years ago.

The beer is clear and golden in color; the head is average and disappears quickly. It smells of citrus. The sip goes smoothly down the throat. In the mouth, I feel the bitterness of the hops, but not too much. Citrus notes are in the background, and there's a hint of sweetness from the malt.

In the aftertaste, everything quickly disappears except for a slight bitterness that remains for a while.

The beer is drinkable (which isn't, haha) and refreshing. Since it's a Session IPA, the bitterness isn't the most pronounced or extreme, and the citrus flavors are more subtle. It's not over the top, but it's still OK. The price was very affordable, €1.09. I bought it at a Konzum store in Croatia.

Of course, I did some work in the afternoon, namely in my mother's garden, where we picked all the pumpkins. I grew eleven of them in my field, but here there were almost enough for a pick-up truck :)

We also picked hawthorn berries, which make excellent jam or can be dried for tea. Hawthorn is highly medicinal, but you should not combine it with medications used to treat cardiovascular diseases.

🍻 😎 🍻

Let's move on. I'm in a bit of a hurry because I'm going to record two bands at a local club tonight.

Harboes Bear Beer Premium Lager

Brewed by Harboes Bryggeri, Skælskør, Region Sjælland Denmark. Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 5.0%, ABV N/A. It's a Lager beer.

What do the Master Brewers say?

Harboe Premium Lager is a classic lager with a pleasant and smooth taste of lager malt, which together with the bitterness of hops gives Harboe Lager its characteristic taste.

The beer is a clear, yellow color; the foam is quite thick, creamy, and persistent. It has no special smell. The sip goes smoothly down the throat. In the mouth, I feel the sweetness of the malt, caramel, and the bitterness of the hops is more in the background. In the aftertaste, everything quickly disappears.

The beer is drinkable and juicy! It's a lager, but with a distinct sweet caramel flavor, which didn't bother me at all. It's not exactly a classic lager; it has some local specialties, such as malt with caramel, but it's still quite good. I bought it in Italy at the Famiglia store for €1.50.

And what am I listening to when writing this and tasting beer? Something from Friday's New Tunes selection.
