First sip was more like a 3.75 but then it really grew on me. Very nice!

33cl can de LaSource, covid home delivery. No BB.
Dorée sur léger trouble, col blanc-cassé fin crémeux.
Arôme au nez fin tropical de Mosaic - rétro d'agrumes. Retrouve un savoureux nez d'agrumes avec une petite note de mandarine en rétro-nasal. Le Chinook semble plus en retrait;
Palais est plaisant, bien axé dans un style classique IPA californienne.
Sec, finement résineux qui amène bien le côté C-hop, relevé par un fruité agrumes du Chinook et de Mandarina.

Hazy IPA fermented with a kveik yeast strain, one of the many offerings by La Source that have popped up lately; can from Etre Gourmet. Snow white, rather thinly mousy, slowly breaking, shred-lacing head on a hazy to even cloudy peach blonde beer with pale orange hue. Very dank aroma of moldy lemons, withering leeks, fried garlic, grapefruit peel, frying olive oil, diesel, dry marijuana, bread crust, herb cheese, linseed, starfruit, stale sweat. Fruity onset but remaining restrained in sweetness, hinting at unripe mango, starfruit and pomelo, perturbed by some early hop bitter 'stings'; lively and minerally carbonation. Soft bready, bit doughy malt body drenched in citric and spicy hoppiness, providing the expected dank retronasal effects of fried garlic, toasted onion, green olive and marijuana, but also a bright citrusiness, continued well into the finish as a long-lasting, powdery, spicy bitterness, more so than average for any hazy IPA. Still juiciness and fruitiness do prevail in the end, with a smoothening effect. The kveik yeast adds a fruity character here that matches with the hops, but this effect remains subtle as usual (I have argued before that this whole kveik hype is more of interest to brewers than to consumers) and the hoppiness takes quite a grapefruity, bittering turn in the end, much more so than you would expect from what is essentially intended as a NEIPA. Quenching and quaffable, sure, but I cannot help feeling that it could do with a tad more 'tropical' fruitiness from the hops and a tad less actual hop bitterness...

Tasting sample from tap shared 13. 12. 2019 with Bierridder_S @ La Source . F: medium, white, not long lasting. C: pale gold, hazy. A: orange, tangerine, passion fruits, pine, grapes, hoppy. T: medium malty base, orange, mellow tangerine, bit pine, grapes, dry on the palate, soft carbonation, kveik yeasts make good job here, enjoyed.

Draft @ Xmas market, Ixelles. Dorée, sur col blanc. Arôme est généreux houblonné, sur de belles effluves d'agrumes, tropical et un léger côté rappelant la mandarine. Palais est plaisant, belle balance grains, et houblons; fruité à souhait avec un effet de cône de houblons frais, résineux avec une bonne note de tropical - mandarine.
