Gara Guzu - Ters Köşe - India Pale Lager (Turkey)



I finally got my hands on Ters Köşe, the latest beer from Gara Guzu that I haven't tried before. It's a beer that, despite not looking like it, gives away its true nature just by its name, without me having to check the label on the bottle.
My initial impression is that it is a light-colored and heavily foamed beer. But when I taste it, it has a strong hop bitterness. I would say it's a highly carbonated IPA.
When you look at the bottle, you will see that this beer is an IPL, which stands for India Pale Lager.
Honestly, I hadn't tried an IPL before. The difference from an ale is that it is more foamy and lighter. The fact that it's called "Ters Köşe" (which means "plot twist" or "unexpected turn" in Turkish) made me expect a light beer because of its light color, but it turned out to be a bitter one.
I think it's a great beer for summer, I recommend it.

Alc (ABV): 5.0%
Score: 7/10
