Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori da luppolo e sentori tropicali, terrosi e gelsomino. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. La parte liquida appare velata. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza. La carbonazione è allegra e vivace. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato non pesante e articolato. L'amaro è fortemente amaro. La forza gustativa è molto elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona e duratura. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate e di buona birra. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, resina, pompelmo, the verde, mandarino ed agrumi.

Bottled. Copper colour with a mediumsized foamy off-white head. Aroma is tea, some grapefruits, lychee, caramel and mild peppery tones. Flavour is citrus, lychee, some peppery tones with mild caramel and herbal tones too. Nice lingering and rather long bitter finish.

Real IPA? Si cela veut dire que la bière est centrée sur l'amertume...c'est le cas. Pour 126 d'IBU je m'attendais même à une amertume plus soutenue, le ressenti est plus proche des 75 (comme la WIPA). Mais ce n'est pas parce qu'on le veut mettre l'amertume sur les devants qu'il faut en oublier les arômes. Et de ce côté-là, on est vraiment déçu. Le Centennial et le Mosaîc ne sont absolument pas utilisés pour leurs qualités aromatiques, ce qui est je pense un tort. Il reste donc de l'amertume herbacé de l'attaque jusqu'au final! Pour être un peu plus fin dans mon approche, l'attaque sur une amertume herbacée et franche est tout de même accompagnée de résineux, de pamplemousse et d'un brin d'épices. La deuxième bouche est linéaire avec un résineux légèrement plus présent. L'arrière est également relativement homogène avec une touche de mangue (une touche...merci le Mosaic!) et sur une corpulence honnête. La suite sera une amertume herbacée agrémentée de pamplemousse. En verre pas de fausse note, joli blond dorée surmonté d'une mousse blanc cassée d'un cm. Il est dommage qu'à la dégustation nous n'ayons pas retrouvé le nez car on y retrouvait une meilleure complexité avec résineux, fruits exotiques, miel, et agrumes sur un bon équilibre (tiens, cela me rappelle une certaine WIPA). Tout cela manque d'inspiration. Trop d'amertume tue l'amertume!

Keg at MK VHX, 18/12/17. Light haze on a golden pour with a decent off white cap. Nose is sweet malts, caramel, tangerine, soft bread dough. Taste comprises orange pith, light pine needle, citric tinged straw, light breads, red grapefruit, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough easy drinking exponent of the style.

Little cloudy orange beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, falls down quickly, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of tropical fruits, sweet caramel, dank, lovely stuff. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus, pretty bitter, bit dank, lots of bitter grapefruit, some citrus, fruity. Aftertaste: caramel malts, hoppy bitterness, grapefruit and citrus, lots of tropical fruits, just like it should be! A job well done!
