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 65 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an almost clear amber with an off-white head. Spicy, citrusy aroma with a herbal touch. Thick, sweet and sugary body with a lowish carbonation. Loads of caramel, perfumy hop accents and a rather boozy finish. A bit much. 150313

Sampled at Ft Wayne RB tasting - Pours hazy copper and has an enjoyable big citrus hop aroma. I thought this beer was surprisingly sweet for a saison/ipa. It’s almost sugary. The citrus flavors come through very nicely. Medium to full bodied, it’s quite good.

Cloudy amber- orange, tall finehead. Nose like an IPA, caramel malts, citrs hops, not very saison-like, though nice. Flavor is alcohol, Belgian yeast, huge malt sweetness, plus big hop bitterness. Ridiculously sweet, spicy, boozy. Nohing saison-like about it, just an under-attenuated double IPA with Belgian yeast. Haphazard.

750ml bottle from Beernavigator
Bottled on 13.7.2012 - Pours dark orange with a large foamy head. Aroma of sweet berries, caramel malts, hints of fruity hops and grass. Taste is sweet and malty with some berries, caramel, toffee and hints of spices. Finish is warming, sweet, caramely and malty with mild notes of grassy hops and berries. Quite untypical for a saison, too boozy, sweet and malty. Feels a bit unbalanced and messy.

75 cl bottle @ home as ”Super‐Charged Saison”, bottled 12.07.2012, BBE 12.07.2022
Aroma has is somewhat stale with citrus, some orange and distant earthy notes. Flavour has berries, caramel, resin, apricot and some solvent‐like alcohol htat turns burning after some sips. Sticky palate, even stickier towards the end of the glass. Too messy, too much berries and alcohol.

Bottle @ home via trade with Veldrid. Thanks! Pours a hazy reddish orange appearance wit ha small tan head. Smells quite strong: rich orange citrus, bread, grapefruit, mild herbs. The flavor is quite strong and fairly boozy with notes of orange, mango, citrus, lots of bread, and bitter hops. Not what I was expecting and the strength is a bit overwhelming.

Mouthfeel is round, slightly astringent, slightly boozy and medium to full bodied.
