Unlike my last post in the #Beer community when I featured a beer with a slightly lower alcohol % on #Beersaturday, Fruit sour Dream machina, due to the fact that I had a lot of responsibilities that day that included driving a car, so I couldn't be drunk, while for this Saturday afternoon, I knew I had nothing planned, and I could drink beer in a relaxed way.
Before noon I finished all my housework. I vacuumed and mopped the floors, arranged the flowers on the terrace, washed the windows.
And with all that work, I got quite thirsty.

I used the hottest part of the day to go outside for a bit of fresh air, to a nearby park where I often sit on wooden benches and enjoy the sun.
This Saturday, I decided to increase the enjoyment with some interesting beer.

As the Robocraft brewery boasted about some new beers they had brewed that I will soon be getting to taste, I decided to drink the previously purchased Robocraft beers.
I had two cans of New England IPA style but different alcohol % and decided to drink and compare these two beers, same brewery, same style.

The New England IPA style is a newer style derived from the East American IPA style and as they say, represents the future of the IPA style. It is characterized by balance and less bitterness than a classic IPA beer, with a greater presence of tropical flavors.

By using special yeasts and the technique of dry hopping with aromatic hops, a fragrant, hazy beer was obtained, which at first glance resembles orange juice.
It is cloudy, unfiltered and unpasteurized beer.

The first one I poured was Broken Liberty.

Unfiltered, unpasteurized, light Ale beer with 6.3% alcohol.

When opening the can, the foam started to come out.
When pouring, you get a foam two fingers thick that stays in the glass until you start drinking.

Fruity aromatic notes are felt, and the first sip brings a pleasant refreshment, mild carbonation, with a little bitterness. A pleasant sweetness is felt on the tongue.

After quenching my thirst with this beer, I opened another can of Frankenfizz, an unfiltered, unpasteurized, light ale beer with 6.5% alcohol.

The foam of this beer is even thicker than the foam of Liberty beer, but the aromatic notes are less present.

At the first sip, a bit stronger bitterness is felt, which enhances the alcoholic taste of that 6.5%.

To my taste, the Broken Liberty NE IPA beer was much more pleasant, which I will probably drink on tap as soon as I find a Pub that has it on tap.
Regardless of the taste of these beers, I really like the design of the labels on the cans, perhaps the most of all the beers I've tasted so far in cans and bottles.
