D'abord testée en pression en terrasse au quai du wault, puis en bouteille 75 cl. Robe cuivrée, mousse épaisse et assez tenace, beaucoup de dépôt qui flotte comme des petits flocons. Au nez, odeur de houblon herbacé et floral, avec une touche de miel. En bouche, on a à la fois de la rondeur, un côté doux et sucré, marié a de l'amertume, du pamplemousse. Une IPA simple qui peut plaire au plus grand nombre.

Thanks to Kraddel / Beerlover_Ben. 750 ml. bottle sampled. Orange, clear. Nose is bland oily industrial sweet orange, sugar, corn oil. Taste is all bland orange, sugar, badly mineral, almost iron bland orange peel, way too plastic & mineral + lacking any hop character. Body is the same. Poor even if you ignore the IPA description, then it is embarrassing.

Golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have some slightly grassy hop notes and biscuity malts. Slightly watery texture.

Bottled 750ml. -from Sherpa Val Thorens. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, floral nose. Sweet malty, floral hoppy, notes of fruits and caramel with rather dry and again caramel in the finish. Drinkable but why in big bottles.

Cork and caged 0.75 litre bottle at the Dec 2016 Shrewsbury Beer Exchange group meeting; cheers Mat for this offering. Misty amber pour, the head an off-white affair. Hop centric brew with a fairly bitter nature, nose had floral, grassy notes; taste had a malt undertone overpowered by the bittering hops. OK.
