What about the beer?
Colour is cloudy copper brown with a large natural white head. Aroma has
pineapple, mango, orange and caramel. Taste begins with biting bitter
fruits and malty caramel. Piny and malty bitterness takes over with
caramel malts and a slice of grapefruit. Towards
the end bitter pine seems to rise above all. Aftertaste has
oaky-piny-fruity bitterness, malty-nutty dryness and alcohol bite.
Powerfully piny and malty Imperial IPA. Pine clearly dominates but
there are fruits clearly present. Alcohol bites in the aftertaste. Not
exactly my cup of tea in the style but tasty anyway. Memories from last summer's Craft Beer Helsinki were better. Nevertheless, the first beer from Spain in the blog.

Larrun is a 907 meter high mountain top situated at western Pyrenees on the border of France and Spain. It is a sacred place in Basque mythology, said to be the home of the first serpent, Lehensugea and later a gathering place of witches. I grabbed onto the myth of the serpent but chose the band from the other end of Europe.
