Damn, as this beer warmed up the salted limes just fucking punch you in the face. ![]() Wheat or hay-like flavors are mild in the background behind the dominant flavors. There was moderate acidity, and refreshing tart sourness. Dominant in the salted lime flavor, followed closely by the floral herbal spiciness. The lingering aroma left in the nose is back to the salted limes. Of course, the tart sourness is present in the nose, as well as some medium acidity. There is also some wheat or hay thrown in the mix. Shit, I am even getting a small amount of floral as well. There is a spicy herbal aroma that soon follows the salted fruit. The main things I am picking up in the aroma is the sea salt and lime. ![]() The aroma is herbal, spicy, fruity, and sour. The initial pour left a small thin layer white bubbly head on top, but it quickly dissipated, leaving no lacing at all down the glass as I drank this. The appearance is a slightly hazy bright golden straw color. I poured this beer into a snifter glass by Bitter Sisters Brewing Company. I feel like playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City, or watching Scarface while drinking this. I have been getting into this dark synth wave music that is also very retro in he style of music and artwork, so this can fits right into things that are interesting to me right now. The word Vice is colored the same pink color as the shadow behind their logo. Lime-y starts off green on top and fades to yellow. The name of the beer, Lime-y Vice, written out in the font similar to the old TV Show, Miami Vice. Harpoon is written in their normal font logo, but in yellow faded to green gradient, with a pink-ish outline and shadow. Wrapped around the can are light blue waves that looks like wave clip art, similar to a finger print. With the can being majority white in color, it really helped make the artwork on here pop right off the can. Salt is usually a key element in this style, and by adding the coriander and lime, it really pops.Īlright, let’s get talking about this cool can. I love these added ingredients to a Gose. This Gose is brewed with sea salt, coriander, and lime. I really enjoy the can art to go along with this one. Lime-y Vice, which by the way, is a very clever name. I know that they are not leading the charge in new trends, which is what I really like about them. I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, I really enjoy Harpoon Brewery beers. Real Ale Brewing Company here in Texas, led me to believe that no other Gose could touch theirs, but over time I have had some real fucking winners. It would have to be complete shit for me to even remotely hate the beer I am drinking. ![]() Gose beers have quickly become one of my favorite styles. Metal Connection: RAZOR – Miami BeerMetal Rating: 5/5 Lagos, Peckham, Repeat: Pilgrimage to the Lakes is at South London Gallery until 29 October.Character: Brewed with Sea salt, coriander, and lime. The surrealist wig was made by Peckham hairdresser Solomon Paramour. It’s an image of both the freedom and anonymity of London life. Nobody says anything and most avoid staring. Meanwhile Temitayo Shonibare sits on a London Overground train wearing an orange wig that completely covers her face. Studio portraits of Lagos, denizens from an already nostalgic past, glow in a lightbox while Christopher Obuh’s No City for Poor Man explores in empty, depopulated photographs the sci-fi spaces of Eko Atlantic City, the “Dubai of Africa”, that is being built in Lagos State. ![]() This show’s tale of two cities cuts between continents in a memorable collage. A room in the gallery’s Fire Station annexe showcases collages and drawings done by London artist Chiizii on her research residency there, mixing Igbo history and pop culture. Recently, however, he has been strongly engaged with Nigeria and last year opened his non-profit organisation Guest Artists Space, providing residencies for artists both in Lagos and on a working farm near Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. Where Ehikhamenor takes you on a journey into Nigeria’s cultural heritage, Shonibare ironically takes on the history of British art. The rakish Black dandy stands heroically as white Britons adore him. His expansive photographic tableaux set in stately homes cleverly capture the deep perspectives of Hogarth’s scenes and their use of symbolic objects, yet with a modern, unresolved ambiguity. It’s always a delight to survey how elaborately Shonibare pastiches William Hogarth’s visual narratives such as The Rake’s Progress and Harlot’s Progress. It’s certainly the comic achievement of Yinka Shonibare’s 1990s art classic Diary of a Victorian Dandy, from which two scenes are shown here in their huge gilded frames. Living with pride may be a British Nigerian style. Photograph: Chiizii/Courtesy of the artist Mixing Igbo history and pop culture … Untitled Collage 5, 2022, by Chiizii.
