A West Coast original, this IPA has bold levels of hop aroma, bitterness and flavor. Dry hopped in two stages to give it a piney, citrusy and soft fruit flavor to satisfy your hop cravings

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Jumbo Wageningen. Hazy dark golden with a creamy white head. Malty aroma with orange and citrus hops and some pine. Bitter taste and a bitter finish. More than decent IPA.

23/VI/18 - 33cl bottle @ my godchild's birthday weekend, the Abeels' place - BB: 6/VII/19 (2018-788) Thanks to T. for sharing the bottle!
Pretty cloudy orange beer, small creamy white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of chlorine, bit fruity, caramel malts. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity, some tropical fruits, bitter, bit watery, malty, soft bitterness, bit soapy. Aftertaste: soapy bitterness, little fruity, caramel malts, soma citrus, bit of grapefruit, not bad, but not a great ipa really.

Le nez de cette Hoptimiste était plein de promesse. Fruits exotiques, litchee, agrumes et résineux s'assemblait de très belle manière entourée d'une agréable amertume. La déception fut donc notable à la dégustation, où les arômes sont dissous dans l'amertume, un brin agressive. Dès l'attaque, l'amertume prédomine largement. Tout d'abord saillante pour devenir plus tranchante et agressive à compter de la seconde bouche. Les arômes de pamplemousse, d'épices et de résineux présents initialement déclinent de plus en seconde bouche. L'arrière bouche est de surcroît linéaire et la présence en bouche très moyenne. La troisième, la plus amère (IBU de 47) est sur le pamplemousse et les épices et précède un final d'une bonne longueur qui présente des arômes herbacés et résineux. En verre, on est sur du banal, un blond orangé surmonté d'une mousse blanc cassée nappant juste la surface. L'alcool, à 6,6 % est plutôt efficace avec également une faible présence de sucre. Nous sommes tout de même sur une bière appréciable, mais il ne faut jamais faire une promesse que l'on ne sait pas tenir...

Grapefruit, pine, resin, some malts, honey, herbs. Nice. Well balanced, juicy, not overdone. Nice.

Bpttle. Pours amber with some reddish hue, slight clouds and frothy white top that dissipates in short moment. Aroma has fruity-malty backbone with some grassy hops on top. Hops are somewhat gone though, mainly that hop marmalade feel to it. Taste has still lots of happiness, quite resiny - but not heavy nor sweet. Grassy, yes. Dry herbal grassy finish. Solid IPA, especially when to consider that my sample is not the freshest out there.
