Très belle IPA dont la clé se trouve sur un excellent équilibre entez base maltée et amertume saillante, cette Dalva est une des meilleure IPA française que j'ai pu déguster jusqu'à présent. Avec Nugget, Simcoe, Citra et Aramis, elle jouit de plus d'une bonne complexité sans s'embrouiller ni perdre en cohérence. Le visuel est sur un blond orangé voilé surmonté d'une belle mousse blanc cassée et crémeuse de 2 cm. Le nez est racé, sur une dominante d'orange amère, de pamplemousse, de pêche et d'herbes. Excellent équilibre sur l'attaque avec une base maltée douce répondant très bien à l'amertume saillante. Le cocktail aromatique, d'une bonne complexité est très agréable avec pêche, orange, pamplemousse, miel, herbes, poivre et une pointe pimentée. La deuxième bouche est vive et racée avec un alcool à 8,5% à la fois soutenant la structure mais également donnant un bon tempérament sans dénoter. L'arrière bouche et le final sont sur une amertume plus épurée mais vive et précise permettant de donner cette touche d’élégance nécessaire. Corpulence et longueurs sont de surcroît de bonnes factures. Double IPA intelligente à la fois bien pensée et bien exécutée.

On tap at Sovereign, pours a hazy orange, foamy white head. Nose has the hop, very green and grassy, like the underside of a lawn mower, malt, straw, green citrus. Flavor is sticky with malt and honey, orange and lime, big grass and straw. Full bodied and bitter on the end.

Thiriez’ double IPA aged on wine barrels, 75 cl bottle of six years old. Extreme and violent gusher : impossible to remove the crown cap without being confronted with a fountain of beer and considerable loss, and foam kept escaping from the bottle neck for a long time after that. What ended up in the glass, showed a coarse and irregular, snow white, lightly lacing, open head quickly thinning and eventually disappearing altogether, over a cloudy, warm orange-hued peach blonde robe. Rather weird aroma of old blankets and mattresses, moldy oranges, brown soap, dried plants in a herbarium, pelargonium leaves, old white wine, dusty attic, vermouth, white grapes, soaking wet wood, gooseberry jam, mandarin juice, wrinkly old apples. Estery onset, lots of sweet blood orange, ripe purple gooseberry and sweet white grape aspects, drying (yet not sharply acidic) tartness running throughout the whole palate – a combination of wine tartness and sourness resulting from what I suspect is best considered a ‘happy’ infection depending on your personal preferences. Honeyish, lightly biscuity malt sweet body dried by this tartness, fluffy and powdery mouthfeel, softly carbonated ; old wood tannins at the back reinforce both the wine tartness, which keeps lingering deep into the finish and beyond the beer itself as is often the case with wine barrel aged ales, and a rooty, spicy, firm hop bitterness. Lingering fruity esters, wine flavours and a whiff of warming brandy-ish alcohol colour the end phase. Highly unmanageable gushing is never a pleasant thing, but putting that aside, this is an interesting beer: apart from a confident hop bitterness in the finish, nothing is left of its former DIPA personality (which wasn’t too great and convincing to begin with if I remember the regular version well), but the wine barrel treatment with infection to go with it, has de facto turned this into a sour ale. Not the worst one I had, to be honest, but there are weird aspects to the nose which took me a while to get used to.
