Nous avons décidé de brasser un projet spécial avec les houblons de la compagnie Néo-zélandaise Freestyle Hops. Ces passionnés de houblons s’intéressent aux différentes caractéristiques que cette plante peut développer selon le moment de la récolte. Le projet consistait à brasser deux versions de Double IPA : l’une avec du Nelson Sauvin récolté à la mi-saison et l’autre en récolte tardive, afin d’explorer les différentes saveurs qu’un même houblon peut offrir.
Cette version est élaborée avec une récolte tardive de Nelson Sauvin, qui apporte des notes plus herbacées (dank), de pamplemousse rose, de fruits tropicaux et de résine (cannabis).

473ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden colour with averge, frothy to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, minimally sugary, wheaty malty background, minimally perfumed notes of grapefruit, orange, lemon, minimally dank, earthy, grassy, resinous interludes with a touch of hemp, weak, tropical fruity overtones, whiffs of coconut as well. Taste is tripartite: sweet-ish, minimally sugary, wheaty and pale malty base layer, dank, resinous, slightly earthy and grassy, "heavy" hoppy middle part, "light", citrusy fruity hoppy top layer, notes of orange, grapefruit, some mango, hints of hemp, moss.
Slightly oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly greasy palate, medium to fine, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite intense and condensed, minimally mismatching, resinous-grassy aspects once in a while - good.

After having the "Mi-saison récolte" version with Riwaka Hop Kief, let have this one. Medium haze, golden colour with an orange hue, an off-white frothy head, good stay and lacing spots left. Nice fresh fruity aromas with stone fruits, white grapes and a touch of sesame nuttiness. Some nice peach notes in the taste with the white wine and hints of sesame seeds. Some mild grassiness adds a tad bitterness to the mix. The overall balance of this version is smoother, better blended with still lots going on and the Nelson Sauvin shinning a little better.
