What about the beer?

Colour is cloudy golden yellow with a big white head. Aroma has fresh grass, malts, hops and a slice of citrus - and when warmed up: strong scent of mango and orange. Taste sets going with fresh citrus and sharp bitter bite. Lemon and grapefruit flavours take over. Towards the end semisweet orange and mango come stronger to the picture with smooth piny notes. Aftertaste has gentle dry bitterness with lemon and peel.

Fresh and fruity from the first bite to the finish. Mango doesn't run over the other flavours, quite the opposite: the sweet fruits are well hidden under the fresh bitter citrus. Classy and fine Double IPA without overbursting bitterness.

Fresh and fruity suits this funk rock song, even though it was a revisit to the band's roots in the 80's. There's a similar catch in Anthony Kiedis' sharp-pointed rap-singing and the funky-jazzy rhythm that we have in the brew:

From the 2002 album By the Way, the song was written by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
