Dark red beer with ample fruity notes such a passion fruit and mango. A delicate bitterness perfectly balanced by its malted residue. An avalanche of hops, as a large amount of hop is used for the brewing and dry-hopping processes.

Red and hazy with a frothy head that lingers. Pleasant aroma is a mix of spruce, pine, caramel and red currant. Taste is bitter, accompanied by both spice and a mild citric twist. Body to the full side of medium, moderate chewy, balanced carbonation. Nice!

(Draught at Nüetnigenough, Brussels, 22 Oct 2022) Hazy reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with pink grapefruit, rye bread and resin. Malty, hoppy taste with notes of rye bread, caramel, orange peel, resin and a generous citric/resiny bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Rich and tasty. Very nice.

Red-brown, hazy, medium carbonation to high. From - snifter Taste- weak hops, malt, weak caramel. Generally malty, hoppy with weak sourness. Bit weird and not for me. Alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle at home. Nice autumnal red color, medium sized beige head. Aroma initially is nicely hoppy. Inviting to drink. After a short while the aroma subsides to malty only. Flavor is malts, hops in the distance only up front, some caramalts appear to be there or perhaps some other variations, a bit more hoppy thereafter. Moderate to decent bitterness. Lingering malty bitter finish. Mwah.

Avec Cascade, Mosaic et Simcoe, je m'attendais à une Red IPA plus fruitée. Pareillement, avec un double houblonnage à cru, je m'attendais à une expression herbacée plus marquée, ce qui n'est pas le cas, mais avec une expression du résineux qui tourne vers le plastique ce qui est légèrement désagréable. Mais cela n'empêche pas cette Atrium d'avoir de très belles qualités que sont une amertume saillante (pour un IBU de 51) et précise, un alcool efficace (d'autant plus qu'il se limite à 6,8%) et des arômes orientés pamplemousse, résineux/herbes globalement agréables (même si, il y a, sur la question aromatique de petites imprécisions qui lui font défaut). En verre nous sommes sur un ambré quasi limpide (EBC de 29) surmonté d'une mousse beige de 3 mm. Le nez est sur un résineux aux accents plastique, les fruits exotiques, le pamplemousse avec une touche de miel. A la dégustation, à part sur l'attaque où ils sont en plus relativement ténus, les arômes de fruits exotiques sont très peu présents, et c'est réellement le pamplemousse et le résineux qui prennent les devants. En deuxième bouche, la présence herbacée est plus marquée avec de surcroît un alcool à 6,8% conférant un bon caractère. L'arrière-bouche est sur une amertume plus vive avec un pamplemousse dominant. Le final, d'une bonne longueur est sur une amertume plus épurée mais agréable. Proposition intéressante de la brasserie Atrium méritant d'être affinée.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a hazy caramel brown colour with a reddish hue and a large thick creamy beige head. Aromas of toasted malts, caramel, nuts, bread with citrus tones. Taste is again toasty, caramel, nuts with more grapefruit like citrus notes coming through and also some spice. Medium body, fairly lively palate with a dry spicy and grassy hop finish. Interesting beer. Quite nice
