Most IPAs combine a large quantity of hops with a high alcohol content. With its 6% alcohol volume and wonderful citrus and grapefruit notes, the SUPER 8 IPA is even more refined and balanced. This means that you get all the characteristics of the style, without these being taken too far.

02/09/2017 - 33cl bottle @ De Fabriek, Sint-Lievens-Houtem Orange colour with nice white creamy head. Nose has lots of fruit and a bit sweet malt. Taste is first malty, a bit sweet, tropical fruits, not really bitter. Product for mass consumption which was probably the aim so from that point of view it's all right.

Sabores cereales y maltas dulces con final herbáceo suave que deja también suave amargo no muy intenso verde fresco. Cuerpo ligero a medio algo espumoso. Refrescante, buena.

25/VII/17 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ holidays - BB: 15/XI/17 (2017-1123)
Clear orange beer, big creamy irregular yellowish head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: citrus, orange peel, mango, pretty fruity, some caramel malts. Actually smells very pleasant! MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: quite some citrus indeed, grapefruit, some orange peel, bitter touch, bit watery. Aftertaste: grapefruit, hoppy, bit malty, grains, pretty bitter, some citrus. All in all it's a half decent ipa. Which is better than a bad ipa. ;-)

At Het Spijker, Gent. Pours clear golden/amber with a small, foamy, slowly diminishing white head. The aroma contains hops, yeast, orange, grass and cooked vegetables. It tastes medium bitter and medium sweet, with a finish that is strangely sweet and dry at the same time. Light body, watery/slick texture, fizzy carbonation. To me, this is a Pale Lager with IPA features. Nothing special, moving on.

Very good, fine & dense yellowish head, stable, over clear copper-amber beer. Floral, citrussy hops bursting with exotic fruit (passion mainly). Also cat’s pee, valerian, going over into crustacean (DMS?). Dry, strawlike hops, with a lot of citrus, lupulin/hopoil retronasal. Unfortunately, the flavours peter out fairly quickly, leaving sweeter, dull malts (if still citrussy) behind. The aftertaste is downright sweet. Medium bodied, quite spritzily carbonated, Honestly? I’d never guessed Haacht would prove to be able to turn out something even halfway decent. This is better, even when far from a Westcoast work of IPArt. Leeggoed: 4 FR. Wattuh???
