Paljas Indian Pale Ale is brewed with 100% pale malts. The 4 selected hops (Tomahawk, Cascade, Saaz and Amarillo) are giving a fresh hoppy aroma and a nice bitterness of 35 IBU. This well balanced IPA is dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Hallertau Blanc hops, which gives some flavors of Sauvignon Blanc.

Bottled. Deep, hazy golden colour with beige head that doesnt last too long. Slightly bitter, fruity aroma with the same notes with faint bitterish finish. Light bodied with spft carbonation. Easily drinkable yet flavourful, nice one.

Bottle at home. Aroma of light sweetish malts, fruits, orange, pine resin, yeast, hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bittersweet finish. Body is medium. Soft and pleasant, very ’Belgian’ IPA. Not outspoken in any way, but refined and enjoyable.

Barwa jasno bursztynowa, zamglone, piana w kolorze zabrudzonej bieli, średnio obfita, średnio trwała. W aromacie estry, fenole, żółte owoce, nieco cytrusów. W smaku półwytrawne, lekka słodowość, sporo akcentów od drożdży belgijskich z dodatkiem nut chmielowych. Goryczka niska do średniej, wysycenie średnie, ciało w normie, dobra pijalność. Całkiem niezłe.

Belgian IPA hopped with Nelson Sauvin, in a brand created in 2013 by West-Flemish hobby brewers going commercial at Anders but selling the brand to De Leite in 2021. It remains to be seen how stable this situation is and how long the brand will remain in existence. Gusher, so be careful when opening. Egg-white, very rocky, foamy, very thick, plaster-like lacing, uneven-bubbled but firm head, towering inches high over a misty pale orange blonde beer with 'old golden' hue and strong visible sparkling; cloudy and darker orange with sediment. Aroma of half-dried orange peel, grapefruit juice, watermelon, apple blossoms, canned peach, glazed carrot, white dessert wine (the Nelson Sauvin speaking), kiwi jam (dito), red bell pepper soup, honey, ripe pepino, tulips, powder sugar melting on a hot pancake, background notes of clove, dry earth and raw turnip. Crisp, fruity, sweetish onset, ripe peach, apricot jam even, red apple, pear and vague pineapple, disturbed by - even for Belgian IPA - very sharp overcarbonation with souring and minerally effects; sourish tomato-ish undertone but very faint. Lightly peanutty, cracker- and rusk-like maltiness, sweetish with bittering toasty edge, under growing hop bitterness, becoming very leafy and earthy in the end, calling for associations with tonic water, grapefruit peel and dandelion; some spicy phenols (clove) appear too, but the hops do get a lot of attention here, even showing off a touch of Nelson Sauvin 'grapeyness' and - much more prominent - orange peel zestiness. Ends quite earthy though, with the citrusy 'fraîcheur' all but gone by then, but the bitterness remains firmly in place and gets the last word. Indeed Belgian style IPA, yeasty and earthy, but with a more 'bright' fruity hoppy aroma than usual in that particular segment; not bad, in all, even better than expected perhaps, but the overcarbonation (with foam initially filling the glass) is an issue which should be dealt with.

Cette Paljas IPA m'a relativement peu emballé. L'équilibre global n'est pourtant pas mauvais, même si l'amertume manque un peu de vivacité, mais je l'ai trouvé un brin ennuyeuse avec un manque de développement sur la dégustation et notamment sur la longueur. Le visuel est sur un ambré voilé avec une très fine effervescence soutenue et un mousse blanc cassé de 5 mm. Le nez est sur un cocktail d'orange amère, caramel et miel avec une pointe de pamplemousse qui manque à mon goût de légèreté. Sur l'attaque l'amertume est d'une bonne vivacité avec un bon équilibre malt/houblon. La deuxième bouche est un peu plus poussive avec des arômes d'orange amère qui prennent l'ascendant ce qui écrase quelque peu l'ensemble. Et si l'arrière bouche ramène un peu de vivacité, le final, moyennement long est sur une amertume plus neutre. L'alcool, à 6 % est pour sa part honnête et le sucre pas trop poussé. Un manque de passion tout de même pour cette Paljas.

Fles gedeeld door Inoven. Het is een koperkleurig bier met een medium schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige en fruitige geur en smaak met tonen van sinaasappelschil.

Bottle. pale amber color. Some grass, earthy notes and tropical fruit in the shy aroma. The flavor has the same, but is more pronounced. Soft vinous notes. Some bitterness in the finish. Decent.
