Our flagship beer is also one of the first Pacific IPAs ever produced. In search of a unique style that does not refer to either the English or the US schools, we have developed an innovative blend of hops from Japan, Australia, New Zealand and America. The result is an explosion of tropical scents ranging from coconut milk to mango, enriched with notes of apricot and citrus.

La qualité première d'une IPA est pour ma part la vivacité et la brillance de son amertume qui lui donne tout son allant. Sur ce pan, cette Zona Cesirini, moyenne lui font manquer de passion. Et si celle-ci est honorable, elle ne restera en rien mémorable. La robe est blond orangé sans voile, rien de spécifique donc. Le nez est sur une dominante orange amère, avec, en complément du pamplemousse et de très légères herbes. L'attaque manque de tonicité mais présente un bon équilibre malt/houblon. Un léger poivre se fait alors ressentir sur un cocktail semblable au nez. La deuxième bouche est sur une amertume légèrement plus vive, plus sympathique tout comme l'arrière bouche davantage sur le pamplemousse. Passage trop furtif car le final, qui s'écrase est plus décevant. Zona Cesarini est passée...déjà oubliée.

Tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Amber golden colour with big thick off white bubbly head. Nice aroma, sorachi ace, cheese and chive stinkiness, citrus and grassy too. Taste is nice, similar cheesy sour cream element, nice bitterness throughout. Bit of orange there too, and initial tropical fruit. Really nice combination. Easy drinking, smooth but not thick.

Hazy light orange with a quite big, fluffy/soapy white head that shows good retention and excellent lacing. Fresh aroma shows just the lightest malty base, resinous/piney hops and vibrant notes of tropical fruits (mango, grapefruit), plus tangerine. Rather simple, but clean and vivid. Taste shows just a hint of bready/crackery maltiness, vivid citric and tropical fruits notes as per aroma, a resinous/grassy finish. Nice clean and dry aftertaste shows a note of floral hops, leaving a touch of almost tea like bitterness. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation, quite mouthfilling for the style but still rather easy to drink. A very good ipa that displays both nice complexity and excellent balance.
