U.S Meets Europe S.I.P.A. - Collaborating with De Molen Brewery in the "Green Heart" of The Netherlands, we have created a wild and inventive recipe that is a unique blend of the best from both worlds! A super-charged Saison I.P.A. is born, featuring kilos of American hops to add a crazy twist to this European-style ale. The fruity, spicy flavors of this malty Double Saison are nicely complimented by an abundance of late and dry-hopping with the finest American hops.

Bottle shared with my good friend Niels. Lightly unclear reddish color, average to medium sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, pretty sweet, some alcohol and some hops. Taste malts, sweet, some alcohol, some hops, some overripe fruits. Pretty nice! Medium to full body, medium carbonation. I quite like it! Though it doesn’t taste like a saison nor an IPA. To me it’s more like a hoppy quadrupel.

650ml bottle. Clear, wonderful copper colour with small, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Yeasty, minimally bretty, funky, floral aroma, hints of long drop, urinal cake, bath salt, sugary artificial lemon, minimally vinous, caramal malty undertones, a touch of hibiscus and rose hip. Taste is initially sweet, fruity, caramel malty and resinous hoppy, floral, notes of orange, orange zest, mandarine, candied lemon, red berry juicy, hints of hibiscus and rose hip; oily texture, soft, sticky palate. Very rich and complex, a harmonious composition of all-matching flavours; exuberant, double-IPAic, floral Imperial Saison. If I only had another one cellared.

0.65l bottle brought home from Cask Pub & Kitchen. Well it looks really nice in the glass with a light cloudy almost glowing deep golden body. It also has a small to medium sized off-white head with good retention and some nice lacing capabilities. Really enjoy the first inhale on the nose. Reminds me of fruity soap. A ton of lovely hops just rushes in the nose. Lots of piney tones, a strong sticky malt sweetness with old grapefruit, citrus, defrosting strawberries and yeast. Damn, strange thing, the aroma develops for each sniff. Oh my this is sweet! Super almost cloying and sticky as hell. Soft to near flat on the carbonation and it's just like drinking fruity sugar water almost in the mouth. A ton of defrosted fruity strawberries in the taste also. It's bitter in a old hoppy way. Yeast, melon and honey syrup finishes it off. Could easily have been a nutty American barley wine this. This is way over the top most likely, and since it's evolving both in the aroma and in the taste, I'm quite glad I got a chance to try this creation. 18.11.2013

Bottle, courtesy of Cuso. Aroma is mostly hoppy, tangerine, orange zest. Taste is strong strong sweet, nicely grainy. Then hops shows itself, in just right quantity. Really nice one. Tasty above all. I hope to revisit this in the future.

Hazy deep amber beer with a good pale cream coloured head. Nose of generic fruits sherbet and malt cream. Palate is smooth and viscous with fine carbonation. Smooth malt cream supports pleasant generic fruit sherbet, gets zingy before turning slightly yeasty bitter. Mild minerals before a smooth finish. Fruity aftertaste. Unusual and tasty beer.
