Named for our grandfather, who was lovingly called "The Master". Its unforgettable character mirrors that of the legendary urban figure of "The Master". It's a fresh, fruity IPA that is perhaps not as bitter and makes it pleasing to drink. Merkur, Nelson and Citra hops.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, straw, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and fruits, leading to a dry finish.

Après la déroute de la Viven Blond la veille, cette Master IPA me réconcilie avec la brasserie Viven. Nous sommes ici en présence d’une belle IPA construite autour d’une amertume saillante et racée et des arômes de pamplemousse et d’orange. Excellent brassage également car peut être à part le citra, difficile de déterminer à l’aveugle la présence de Nelson Sauvin et de Merkur, preuve d’une très bonne mixtion des arômes. En verre, sa robe est blond orangé (EBC de 20 environ) avec une mousse blanche de 3 mm d’épaisseur. Le nez s’oriente principalement vers la marmelade d’orange et le pamplemousse. Une pointe de plastique se fait aussi ressentir. Heureusement cet arôme ne se retrouvera pas à la dégustation. Très belle attaque, soyeuse, avec un bon équilibre malt/houblon et une amertume racée principalement sur le pamplemousse. La deuxième bouche est sur une amertume plus franche et épurée toujours sur le pamplemousse et très finement épicée. L’arrière bouche revient sur un équilibre malt/houblon avec pamplemousse, orange, l’ensemble toujours très finement épicée. La troisième bouche voit alors l’amertume monter en intensité avant un final long présentant une très belle amertume saillante et racée. Une excellente IPA en somme.

At ’t Oud Clooster, Ghent. Pours hazy amber/dark orange with a frothy, lasting, off-white head. The aroma contains hops, yeast, caramel, fruits and malt. It tastes medium fruity sweet and medium to heavy bitter, with a long finish that is dry but not drying for the mouth. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Great aroma and palate, a smooth but convincing IPA.

Bottle, 330 ml at Majstor za Pivo, Belgrade. Pours clear golden, large white head. Light hoppiness, some citrus notes, malty, caramel, yeasty. On the sweet side. Creamy texture, medium bodied. Not a bad brew but expected way more in terms of hoppiness, especially considering their Imperial IPA which was very good.
