Les aiguilles de pin, l’ananas, une certaine acidité et peu d’effervescence... C’est foutrement bon!! Peu effervescente, assez sucrée pour le style, avec une certaine âcreté en finale.

Purchased in Montebello at a Chocolate store. Looks pretty unfiltered with loads of chunks of yeast floating around. Cloudy golden-amber colour. Beautiful creamy warm cap with great retention and thick foamy lace. Aromas of grapefruit hops over some sweet malts. Refreshing mouthfeel with well-balanced bitterness, wetness and mild dryness. Fruity taste with some grass. Quite a nice stronger IPA that does not seem like it, except for the full punch.

Trübes goldenes Bier mit ordentlicher weißen Schaumkrone. Geruch hopfig, sehr fruchtig. Geschmack mild hopfig, malzig, exotische Früchte.

(Bottle sample c/o a friend) Pours a lightly hazed pale golden orange with a small frothy white head, no lace. Punchy hop aroma, mango to the forefront with its trademark sweet fruit/pine combo, quite resinous, a little citrus as well, some sweet pale malt backing. Palate echoes the nose, lots of bright tropical fruit/citrus/pine hops, somewhere between leafy and resinous, with a sweet pale malt core. Fairly bitter towards the finish, strips out that sweetness and the aftertaste is quite dry and hoppy. Mouthfeel moderate, carb effervescent. Not a ton of complexity to the malts, mostly one-note sweet, but very nice hopping. Quite an enjoyable, drinkable IPA.

341mL bottle, sent from Marheb (thanks Martin), pours a cloudy pale orange with a small white head. Nose is fairly subtle, with dry floral hops, some pine, and a little citrus zest. Flavour is pretty bitter and dry, with citrus zest, citrus hops, a little pine and floral notes - very biting, with a solid astringent punch on the finish. Just enough malt to balance, yet this is style very hop-centric. Built for the hophead like me. Very enjoyable IPA.

Bottle: Poured a light golden orangey color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of citrus notes is quite intense with a little bit of piney notes and some tropical fruity notes in there as well. Taste is a great mix between some citrus, tropical fruit and some piney notes with a lightly sweet malt backbone and almost no bitterness. Body is quite full for style with good carbonation. Very enjoyable and something I will drink again.

A golden amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, smooth caramel malt with piney and citrusy floral hops, lemon zest, nice. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with fruity notes, piney floral hops, grapefruit pulp, nice. On tap at vices et versa.
