Bottle at Billie’s Bier Kafétaria in Antwerp. Snow white, dense, moussy, stable and lacing head over a hazy orangey golden coloured beer. Lovely DIPA aroma of pink grapefruit flesh, tangerine, papaja, paprika, toasted onion, sundried tomato, white pepper, cigarette tobacco, fried chicken, raw celery, hemp, toasted brown bread. Crisp onset of orange, pineapple and mango, sweet but in a clean way and paired with soft sourish and umami flavours for balance, medium carbo, thick caramelly malt body, smooth, biscuity with a toasted edge, beautifully supporting a rich, aromatic hop character unfolding in the finish, long, drying, very deeply bittering to the point where it becomes almost a bit ’abrasive’ so this a treat for hopheads, but not for the less experienced beer drinkers, I guess... Retronasal citrus and pine aromas and a dash of warming, whisky-like alcohol bring an end to this symphony of flavours. Certainly among the better DIPAs I had so far.

Aroma: caramel, spruce, citrus, Appearance: gold color, off-white head Taste: medium sweetness, medium bitterness, Palate: medium body, sticky, soft carbonation, long finish, Excellent imperial IPA
