Draft pour at Delirium Hoppy Loft. It has a murky copper body with gold hues and supporting a light tan colored head of foam. The aroma offers up candied mango, citrusy lime and grapefruit. Pretty nice but smells on the sweet side. The taste delivers sweet mango tropical fruitiness to citrus grapefruit that starts with malt sweetened hop flavor and then quickly jumps into resiny hop bitterness. The bitterness only seems to grow into the finish and helps to create a bit of a drying sensation. Nice stuff.

Draft @ Delirium Hoppyloft. Dorée orangée, col blanc. Arôme fruité et fleuri avec un bouquet que je n’ai pas spécialement trouvé en harmonie tirant vers des feuilles de thé bouillies en dominance. Note de grains et malt caramel. Palais est malté, présentant une fine amertume fleuri avec une fin de bouche assez épaisse au niveau de l’herbacé, et une note épicée. Alcool est réchauffant avec une pointe herbacée voire de camomille. Le palais reste néanmoins un peu bizarre pour une bière qui aurait (possiblement) du être servie plus jeune.

Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft: Hazy bright orange with a white head. Does have the regular DIPA components in the nose but far sweeter, more juice-like than usually & same goes for the taste. Orange peel & fruit pulp in the nose, strong sweet spices, touch pine,… Taste is sweet grapefruit juice, sugar, sweet marmalade, lightly bitter spices in the back, sweet sticky pine, quite strongly fruity with sticky caramel,… Fizzy. Don’t think that this was infected as suggested, just unusual, going by the ratings, this may have been indeed a question of age. Still this was quite enjoyable.

Tap. Tangerine, pine, and toffee malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet orange toffee malt initially followed by a strong bitter orange peel and pine flavor. Nicely balanced. Very tasty.
