Jai Alai IPA - Cedar Aged (Humidor Series)
The colour is amber, the liquid is a bit cloudy. The large beige compact head slowly sinks down, leaving lots of lacing. The smell is woody with distinct notes of cedar pencils. Some citric notes including a touch of lemon acid. Furniture polish in the background. The taste is at first quite mild and smooth. Then, cedar tree and American bitter hops kicks in. Hints of polish and a fresh citric bitterness and a hint of sweet strong white wine. The aftertaste is elegant and polished with mild woody notes. Citric fruits in the finish. The carbonation is strong, the small bubbles are fresh. The liquid is semi-smooth. A very elegant end well crafted cask-matured beer; there are woody notes but it is still an IPA.
